Academic writers have reported that research article Introductions are more
problematic to write than the rest of the paper. It is because they have to choose
from amongst the various options available to them for making a start. The
CARS Model beautifully captures these options in functional terms which make it
very easy to understand and implement. In this paper, I discuss the model with
examples from published geology research articles to show the model’s
usefulness. However, the model is equally applicable to other disciplines.
