Ritzenberg and Mendelsohn (2021) suggested eight templates for developing arguments in their book of “How scholars write”. These templates can be used in line with the aim of the study and the way arguments were created.
According to Table 3, Ritzenberg and Mendelsohn (2021) present eight different templates of argument construction in academic writing. These templates are based on themes of common understanding and complication, whole and part, piece and part, form and function, presence and absence, expectation and observation, assertion of a new scientific problem, and assertion of a new project. For example, one template used in constructing an argument is called the "Common Understanding and Complication Template" and aims to challenge a common belief of a topic and then reveal its complexity. Each template provides effective ways to present argument in different sections of academic writing.
