ABSTRACT
The introduction section of a scientific paper aims to introduce a specific topic and to stimulate the reader’s interest. It provides background information about what has already been done by others, supported by a limited number of relevant references. The reader should be informed about the purpose of the paper, what it will address, and how it relates to previous work.

Keywords: introduction, medical writing, research objectives, scientific paper structure
