While this step is limited to one sentence when writing the Abstract, it can be extended to a paragraph when writing the introduction. While extending this section too much may overshadow the focus of the article, using short but effective expressions is an important start to convince the reader of the importance of the subject.
Step 2: It is a clear statement of what the problem to be addressed is and why it is important to address this problem. In other words, a SPECIFIC PROBLEM in the general picture presented in the previous stage and why the solution of this problem is important are expressed. Again, similar to the previous step, this step should be limited to one sentence in writing short texts such as Abstract and Abstract.
