Jun 14, 2021 at 13:17 comment added Richard Erickson Isn't the answer specific to the journal's style requirements and editor? Even within the same journal, different associate editors might have different view points.

Jun 11, 2021 at 17:41 comment added Terry Loring Without knowing the length of the paper this is hard to answer. A sixty-page paper certainly can use subsections in the introduction. Not so with a three page paper.

Jun 11, 2021 at 11:53 comment added lighthouse keeper I'm not from EE, but from a somewhat neighboring area within CS (software engineering). We would use that classic template rather as an inspiration rather than a strict guideline, to avoid having a bloated introduction. It's fairly standard to have additional sections like "Background", "Related Work", "Overview", "Problem statement".
Jun 11, 2021 at 11:15 comment added Pseg @lighthousekeeper I'm following the classic <Introduction - Methodology - Results - Discussion - Conclusion> template, and I don't want to make my Methodology section less straightforward by adding discussions about the literature/state of the art. I see three possible solutions: (1) add a literature review section, even though I don't find it common on my subfield; (2) write a really long introduction; (3) break down the intro in subsections. I find the last one more logical, but I haven't really seen articles doing that.
Jun 11, 2021 at 11:11 comment added lighthouse keeper Why do you assume that all of this information should go into the introduction, rather than having a short and crisp introduction and some detailed sections after that?
