How To Write A Dissertation Introduction About The Textile Industry


Dissertation introductions are often confused with abstracts, but the two are totally separate and equal parts of the graduate “cap stone” project. The main function of the introduction is to introduce the field in which your study occurs and provides an appropriate setting for the work conducted. The setting should answer questions about the kind of related research that already exists, any limitations to that research, why your study is necessary, and what you expect to achieve and contribute because of this study. It’s much easier to leave the introduction to the last, but you still need to give it your due diligence. Here’s an effective strategy for writing an introduction to a dissertation about the text industry.

  • Take a Page Out of the Research Proposal
  • A lot of the ideas for your introduction can be drawn straight of the proposal you submitted before you began your research study. Don’t simply cut and paste material; make sure you are actually rewriting content using different words. You’re research will probably have taken you in a different direction, so be sure your introduction reflects this.

    Your proposal probably had a number of resource citations as well as some prediction about the importance of your study. Some of this can still be included in your introduction, but don’t go heavy with either. You are now done with your study, so you can focus more on the things you have accomplished and cut down on the material from your proposal you eventually found to be unrelated to your overall work.

  • Write a First Draft, Set Aside, and then Revise
  • Just like any other academic assignment you have worked on in the last few years, writing a first draft and a revised draft will greatly improve the overall quality of writing. And because this assignment is a “cap stone” to all of the hard work you have demonstrated in your studies, you want to be certain it is clear and concise, as well as completely free of grammatical, spelling and punctuation errors.

    Try to write your first draft in a single sitting. Don’t impede your progress by stopping to make corrections to little things. Just keep writing without too much worry. Set your draft aside for a couple of days before coming back to it to make your revisions. This stage in writing is more attentive so you can finally begin to check for the small errors you are sure to have made when writing quickly.

  • Follow this Helpful Checklist Afterwards
  • This is pretty much all you need to know on how to write a dissertation introduction that works. Make sure you commit plenty of time to edit and proofread to ensure you submit work of the highest quality. Use the following checklist to make sure you have covered all your basics:

    • Make sure you have a great introductory sentence, or hook, to capture your reader’s attention.
    • Include ample but relatable background information without going too far off the topic at hand.
    • Answer each required question (e.g., What is the purpose of your study? Why is it important?, etc.)
    • Always end with a great thesis statement that tells the reader exactly what you are making the case for.
