In academic documents, authors need to explain or report a wide range of research activities. For instance, they need to describe the purpose of their research, refer to other research papers, specify the procedures used, and compare the outcomes of their study.<\/p>\n

The phrases used to report such information varies from spoken English. For instance, for explaining the aim of a study, when addressing another person face-to-face, one could say, \u201cI want to tell you about\u2026.\u201d But, in an academic context, one should write, \u201cThis study aims to explain\u2026.\u201d Note how this academic version avoids direct reference to either the writer (I, we<\/em>) or the reader (you<\/em>) and favors the choice of vocabulary specific to that field of study\u2014\u201caims\u201d<\/em>\u00a0rather than\u00a0\u201cwant to\u201d<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0\u201cexplain\u201d<\/em>\u00a0rather than\u00a0\u201ctell.\u201d <\/em>It is also beneficial for authors to use a writing assistant such as Trinka<\/a>. It is an AI-powered tool and is trained with the best academic papers in diverse subject areas to give the most relevant phrasing suggestion that makes academic writing more effective.<\/p>\n

In this article, we will discuss various types of phrases to introduce or report information in academic writing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Phrases to Define the Scope of a Study<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
Scope<\/strong>\u00a0refers to either the objectives or subject matter which is (not) covered in a text.<\/p>\n
\n

Besides the statements given at the start of individual sections, theses, journal articles, and reports often include a paragraph that previews the whole structure of the document. This convention is standard for research articles in fields such as engineering, physics, and biochemistry. For instance:<\/p>\n
The remainder of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2\u00a0describes<\/u>\u00a0the details of our image analysis system, which extracts descriptive features from the prepared sample. In Section 3, we\u00a0present<\/u>\u00a0the inductive learning technique that was used to solve the diagnostic problem. Two different methods for prognosis are\u00a0shown<\/u>\u00a0in Section 4.

<\/span>Phrases to Connect Sentences<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
Phrases used to connect sentences<\/a>, generally called \u201cconnectives\u201d or \u201clinking words,\u201d connect ideas and help the writer construct arguments. For instance:<\/p>\n
\n

Showing addition:\u00a0In addition<\/u>, much progress has been made in reducing IR detector cost and proposing new detector debar assemblies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
However, the use of these phrases forms a part of a much bigger topic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span>Phrases to Point to Data<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\n
