Creating A Research Space:
Introduction
Move 1: establishing territory * Claiming centrality: why its important * Topic generalizations: what has been viewed so far, current views * Background info
Move 2: establishing Niche * Counter claiming * Indicating a gap: no one has quite looked at this thing * Raising a question: could be field in general or the one they went into the study with * Continuing a tradition: revalidating
Move 3: Occupying Niche * Outline purpose; still introduction * Thesis * Summary/preview of results (main findings); indicate structure
