In regards to writing the introduction of science research papers, what exactly is written in the space after one finishes defining the gap in research and before the specific aims and methodologies of the current paper is stated? I'm guessing it would be some sort of overarching thesis statement. Would this thesis statement summarize the research gap, or propose new research/novel solution or address the overall objectives/purpose of the paper? The problem is that from all the papers I've read I can't abstract out any reliable or rational way of setting up the thesis statement and understanding what it is.

I'm trying to recall a textbook I was recommended, titled 'Food Science' whose author starts with an F, like fennenans or something similar. Much appreciated if anyone knows.

In question 13, chapter 8 of Clayden, the answers say that replacing COOH with COOEt results in a greater electron-withdrawing effect. On the other hand, the book also says that COOEt can act as an electron-donor. I'm wondering, is this just a case of induction vs resonance? If this is the case, how would you draw the resonance of COOEt acting as an electron-donor? Thanks.
