THREAD: on making your claim of novelty and contribution to the literature VERY clear with an example from @profcovert
This will be of interest to book writers, article and book chapter writers and thesis writers.
Note how Pinley Covert makes her research question clear.

Pinley Covert establishes that this notion that San Miguel de Allende was on track to become an internationally-recognised tourist town that is prevalent in the mindset of a lot of people was (in her words) "not a foregone conclusion". She then clearly outlines research questions
Also note how Pinley Covert clearly lays out different alternative explanations (in a very well laid out "if X, then Y" format). Note how (in the third screenshot, pp. xx) she also firmly expresses the multiple explanations SHE OFFERS that counter traditional narratives.
This is a perfect, very clear example for our #HistoriaAplicada students on how to make your theoretical and empirical contributions VERY CLEAR, how to lay out the PUZZLE (what is it that your work does that counters mainstream narratives in the literature?) @mkbess @profjuliette
Also note how Pinley Covert makes it clear how her choice of San Miguel de Allende as a case study actually highlights broader, larger-scale historical processes (page xx). She then makes 3 theoretical and empirical contributions clear (laid out clearly in 1 paragraph each)
.@CovertProf 's introduction is the perfect model for what I say here raulpacheco.org/2018/06/how-to… are the good tenets of a good introductory chapter for a book manuscript.
