Document Summary

This is like a literature review -you want to report the work that has been done in the field and explain what it has shown us. Provide a clear and organized presentation of all relevant sides of the story. You may find it relevant to speculate about possible sources of conflicting findings. You want to lead to a suggestion of a possible extension of the studies or field that will waim to clarify or further out knowledge. You will have formed a position by the end of you introduction - your hypothesis paragraph(s) will clearly state this. Write in the first person -- this is a scientific paper. This means that you should be writing in formal english. Don"t assume that we"re familiar with the area of research you are writing about. You don"t want to dumb it down too much, but be sure to make the store accessible to a naive reader.
