Writing academic texts: Questions to ask

  • Why is it important to ask this particular question? Why is it fruitful to enlarge the scientific debate with these particular answers? How will these questions/answers change the debate?
  • How can the question be answered? What aspects have to be analysed in order to answer this question?
  • Which results will influence a positive, which a negative conclusion?
  • During the writing process the question needs to be asked how far every paragraph/chapter approaches/approximates the central problem, i.e. leads to a solution.
  • The conclusion should connect the results with the answer/solution to the question/problem.
  • Which alternative options are possible? What would be the result if the analysis of the problem showed a different possibility?
