Re-establish the Territory is used to foreground the discussion by reiterating relevant information from the Introduction, Methods, and/or Results. Such information may include the study purpose, problem, and specifics related to the study Methods/Results. You may also use this Goal to preview the Discussion section as a way to orient readers to the content of the section. In essence, this Goal is about old information from earlier in the manuscript, and it helps to segue into the heart of the D/C section. To achieve this Goal, there are three main Strategies: Provide Background, Re-state Study Specifics, and Outline Structure.
