1.4.3. Where do arguments come from?

When you create your study’s argument you need to use some scientific information already existed such as empirical, theoretically and practice-based data. Then, in order to provide originality of the research, you need to define connections and distinctions between your studies and others in literature. Murray (2013) offers some questions to hone your own argument as;

• What are the connections between your work and the work of other scholars and researchers?
• What are the distinctions between your work and theirs?
• What is the main connection between your paper and their publications?
• What is the main distinction between your paper and theirs?

In other words, existing scientific data should be used to create the argument of the study and the connections and differences between this data and other studies in the literature should be identified. Murray (2013) suggests some questions to improve this process. These questions include identifying the  study's connections and differences with another research.
