The introduction of papers, articles, and grant proposals holds paramount importance in the scientific publication process: it represents the very first section reviewed by editors and peer reviewers. The quality of the introduction can be the determining factor in whether your work progresses – or stalls – on its long publication journey. Understanding the best practices for structuring this section, recognizing what to include and, equally important, what to omit, are essential. In this workshop, we will provide practical insights and tips aimed at enhancing your ability to craft clear and compelling introductions for various publishing pursuits in academia. Although this session is primarily designed for PhD candidates, particularly those approaching the final stages of their doctoral research, early-career scholars navigating their publication endeavours are encouraged to participate.
