very helpful link

Just figured out how to get a different first page in APA. Remember, the title page has to be different than the rest of the paper. On the title page, it's

Running head: TITLE

Whereas, in the rest of the paper, it's merely

TITLE

Where that title is an abridged version of the longer title, which is on the title page.

road map + topoi

notice the topoi, which in this case is compare & contrast. the road map isn't an opportunity for you to merely repeat what's in the results section, but to think about what you did there anew and in a different way, say, in terms of

• space or proximity or juxtaposition 
• time or duration or narrative 
• magnitude or size or prevalence
• division or isolation or containment 
• paradox or anomaly or strangeness 
• appearance vs. reality
• more or less likely
• in terms of, as in: but if we think about (a) in terms of (b), or try to use (b) as a key to (a)
• context or setting or environment
• intention vs. context
• definition, redefinition, categorization 
• consequence or implication 
• example, plus what the example is an example of (general to specific)
• motivations or reasons why
• inference, conclusion, proposition

before and after

notice how I (a) write one very long sentence that's contextualized within the specific section it refers to; (b) explain what the section does in terms of its organization logic (i.e., compare and contrast); and then also (c) recapitulate the entire section, with the idea that a busy reader could get the picture of the entire thing without even having to go to the section if he or she needed to

but I do this in one long sentence. also notice the active verb. but what I did was put the subject as "this review." regardless, it's important to note that you can't use the first person at all (neither "I" nor "we"), and that it because the literature review wasn't written as a team, and the first person singular is disallowed by the genre

as a result, it's not as though you need two sentences, each that do different things. you only really need one good sentence that, in a way, makes the reading of the section necessary--and you need to do this for each subsection

abstract =

intro = only the context necessary for the paper to begin, plus what the research question is, not what the context is of public health in general or even the general context of your topic, but the context of your research question: so it ought to be extremely specific

methods = search strategy + road map (road map = [a] what each subsection plans to do or accomplishes + [b] how it relates to the other subsections and what decisions went into choosing to design in in that way (passive)

results = (active) results + evidence + methods + reasoning  [10 studies] isolation

discussion = emplacing the 10 articles into the Berridge (2016)

conclusion = this is where you determine whether to what extent and how your research question is answered (passive) + 10 results + yours = 11 results (so instead of drawing your conclusion on the basis of the 10 articles in isolation, your drawing them in the concext of the Berridge [2016])

Two things
