Study the different strategies/moves in writing the introductionWrite the introduction of your paper

establish the context, background and/or importance of the topic indicate a problem, controversy or a gap in the field of study define the topic or key terms review studies made on the topicstate the purpose of the research provide an overview of the coverage and/or structure of the writing

CARS Model (create-a-research-space)

The hepatitis C virus (HVC) is a significant human pathogen given that 3% of the worlds population are infected with the virusStatement of general topicThe HCG genome is a positive sense, single-stranded RNA molecule with an approximate length of 9.5 kbBackground about the topic

Quasispecies are defined as a major population of closely related minor genetic variants and are noted phenomenon of plant and RNA virusesIt has been recognized that treatment outcome is highly dependent on the complexityDefinition of the terms and scope of the topic

Cloning and sequencing is considered a time-consuming and laborious method and as such there exists a need for the development of simple methodsEvaluation of current situation

At present there is no suitable method that has produced results comparable to that of cloning and sequencing which also has the additional properties of simplicity and rapidity.Identification of the gap in current research

There is mounting evidence, however, that immediate treatment will result in successful eradication of HCV. Therefore studies of acute phase quasispecies will enhance the understanding of the early virological events of newly acquired HCV infection and ultimately the disease process itself.Stating the importance of the proposed research

define a set of parameters to analyze quasispecies complexity; develop a simpler and rapid alternative to cloning and sequencing that would accurately assess complexity of quasispecies populations.Stating research aims

StageSample sentence extracts (complete introduction is 4 pages)1. Give background about the topicP-type layers are commonly used in solar cells as they offer a wide range of applications such as a back surface field4. Outline current methodsCurrently in the PV industry aluminium-silicon alloying using screen-printed aluminium and belt furnace firing is the prevalent method of forming p-type layers because it is relatively easy and also forms the rear electrical contact5. Evaluate current methodsThe use of aluminium as p-type dopant has two major disadvantages, however6. Identify importance of proposed research Given the limitations associated with using Al to form p-type diffusion, boron as a dopant for diffused layers is therefore more suitable for high-efficiency silicon solar cells8. State research aimsThe goal of this thesis is to evaluate boron nitride (BN) as a potential replacement for liquid-source diffusion presently being used for p-type diffusions in the high-efficiency buried contact solar cells under development at UNSW10. Outline order of information in the thesis This thesis is divided into five chapters: Chapter 2 discusses in more detail about diffusions in general and the case of boron diffusionChapter 3 outlines the experimental work carried out in the project
