The document outlines four patterns for an effective background of the study section in a research paper: 1. Trends - A review of previous and current literature and studies to support arguments about developments or changes regarding the topic. 2. Issues - Information on problems or controversies observed, and an evaluation of the current situation in light of identified trends. 3. Claims - The researcher's stance or point of view, which serves as the research hypothesis. 4. Gap - Problems encountered by previous researchers on the same topic or those that may be encountered, to identify what is still unknown.
