baby intro = road map

Here is the road-map from one of the literature reviews we looked at. What I've highlighted is the paragraph's form, thus trying to convert it into a kind of topoi or model you can follow. You'll see that the road map/baby intro

• contends
• asserts 
• highlights (notice the passives and the lack of the first person singular)
• and then goes into how it is organized (p) 
• what is draws on theoretically to do so
• what they define and how
• what each of the sections do and how they do it, plus
• how it fits into the field

As I was doing this, I noticed that the verbs here are more passive than active. The reason why is you can't use the first person, but you're still having to talk about what the research is doing and plan to do, which is a form of activity. As a result, the baby intro/road map should be more passive, while the results sections should be more active.
