Abstract

Why is this chapter is important? 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 about whether this contribution is worth recommending for publication
