In academic writing, several articles on the topic of writing papers denounce the practice of "announcing" the topic. As an example, if a paper were to read... > The goal of this study is to not be a study at all but to be a fictional paper of only one paragraph included as an example on stack exchange to demonstrate how a paper announcing its topic reads. This goal of this sentence is to fit some more content in with the previous paragraph on how sentences announcing their topic come across to the audience. In conclusion, this third sentence reinforces the point of the first sentence. Why exactly is "announcing the topic" best avoided? What is a good way to explain it to others what "announcing the topic" does to a paper? Examples of articles denouncing the practice include: - [From Arkansas State University](https://libguides.astate.edu/c.php?g=14501&p=78098) - [Composition Course Hind's Community College](https://hindscc.instructure.com/courses/188266/pages/introductions) - [Roane Community College](https://www.roanestate.edu/owl/Thesis-Statements.html) - [Guide to Grammar.org](http://guidetogrammar.org/grammar/intros.htm) - [Red Rocks Community College](https://www.rrcc.edu/node/481) - [Writing Center University of Wisconsin-Madison](https://writing.wisc.edu/handbook/process/thesis_or_purpose/)
