Swales (1990) researched the structure of introductions to academic journal articles. The schema presented here is the pattern that he found occurring in a majority of the articles. It is not a set of rules for how you must write - rather, it is a useful guideline for how to understand journal article introductions and how to think about structuring your own information. Check your understanding of Swales' schema by performing task 4b. More on Swales' schema (with examples). To make sure you understand which
information comes first in an introduction, try the following
tasks in which you will be asked to re-organize the paragraphs
of an introduction: task 4c &
task 4d.
