2. What is the background of a study? The background of a study is the first section of the paper and establishes the context underlying the research. It contains the rationale, the key problem statement, and a brief overview of research questions that are addressed in the rest of the paper. The background forms the crux of the study because it introduces an unaware audience to the research and its importance in a clear and logical manner. At times, the background may even explore whether the study builds on or refutes findings from previous studies. Any relevant information that the readers need to know before delving into the paper should be made available to them in the background.

3. How is a background different from the introduction? The introduction of your research paper is presented before the background. Let’s find out what factors differentiate the background from the introduction. The introduction only contains preliminary data about the research topic and does not state the purpose of the study. On the contrary, the background clarifies the importance of the study in detail. The introduction provides an overview of the research topic from a broader perspective, while the background provides a detailed understanding of the topic. The introduction should end with the mention of the research questions, aims, and objectives of the study. In contrast, the background follows no such format and only provides essential context to the study.

4. How should one write the background of a research paper? The length and detail presented in the background varies for different research papers, depending on the complexity and novelty of the research topic. At times, a simple background suffices, even if the study is complex. Before writing and adding details in the background, take a note of these additional points: Start with a strong beginning : Begin the background by defining the research topic and then identify the target audience. Cover key components: Explain all theories, concepts, terms, and ideas that may feel unfamiliar to the target audience thoroughly. Take note of important prerequisites : Go through the relevant literature in detail. Take notes while reading and cite the sources.

5. Maintain a balance: Make sure that the background is focused on important details, but also appeals to a broader audience. Include historical data: Current issues largely originate from historical events or findings. If the research borrows information from a historical context, add relevant data in the background. Explain novelty: If the research study or methodology is unique or novel, provide an explanation that helps to understand the research better. Increase engagement: To make the background engaging, build a story around the central theme of the research

6. Ambiguity: Don’t be ambiguous. While writing, assume that the reader does not understand any intricate detail about your research. Unrelated themes: Steer clear from topics that are not related to the key aspects of your research topic. Poor organization: Do not place information without a structure. Make sure that the background reads in a chronological manner and organize the sub-sections so that it flows well. Avoid these mistakes while writing the background:
