Abstract

In various sections of your paper, you need to compare your methodology or results with what has already been established in the literature. You must make it 100% clear to the reader whose methodology or results you are talking about.

If you don’t, you will make it difficult for the referee to:

  • identify your contribution

  • decide how useful the contribution is

  • make a decision as to whether this contribution is worth recommending for publication

This chapter shows you how to make such distinctions.
