What is Process Essays (Examples)?

A process essay is fundamentally different from other types of academic writing assignments.  In fact, it is closer to technical writing than to other types of academic writing. That is because a process essay describes a process that leads to a specific outcome.  There are two approaches to the process essay.  The first approach is often referred to as a directional process essay and is the simpler of the two approaches; it describes the steps necessary to complete a task.  The second approach to the process essay does more than outline steps, it also analyzes or explains the steps involved in the process.  The wording of your assignment will be important when you are trying to determine which approach to take while writing your process essay.  

The introduction of your process essay needs to accomplish several things.  First, it needs to introduce the process you are going to describe, and give background information about that process, when such information is necessary.  Next, it needs to identify your audience.  Identifying your audience does not require actually saying the targeted audience for your essay, but, if your reader needs a certain educational, technical, or professional background to understand the essay, then the introduction provides a great opportunity for you to provide that material.

The body of the essay involves your actual descriptions of the process.  For simple directional process essays, the body of the essay involves a step-by-step description of each part of the process.  For analytical process essays, in addition to outlining the steps you might explain them to the reader or analyze whether the steps are necessary to the process and make the process more efficient, or should be eliminated or changed in order to maximize efficiency and performance.

Finally, the conclusion of your essay will reiterate what you hope to achieve with the process described in the essay.  If you have analyzed the process and found it lacking, the conclusion may also describe suggestions for further study or review.

Chronotype and nicotine dependence in Finnish twin cohorts
According to Tables 3 and 4, researchers found that evening types of both genders were much more likely to be current (OR= 2.91, 95 % CI 2.50, 3.38) and lifetime smokers (OR=2.67, 95 % CI 2.96, 4.07) than that of any other diurnal category. Nicotine dependence (as measured by the FTND test; linear regression Table 5) also showed that this was higher among evening types than any other diurnal categories. Evening types scored 0.59 (95 % CI 0.01, 1.17) points higher than morning types on the FTND. The Odds are low in each case (2.91/ 2.67). CI (confidence interval) in each case is high (the statistical pack will show ".05" as indicating a 5% chance of something not being true. This is higher which shows that there seems to be great significance here, in fact a 98% chance (1-.02=.98) of it being true.

Socio-economic accounting as subdiscipline and practice: evolution and challenges
Socio-economic accounting as a term and as a subdiscipline of accounting is a relatively new phenomenon. It is sometimes confused with social accounting, which is an established field of accounting and economics. Social accounting was first introduced by J. R. Hicks of Oxford University in The Social Framework: An Introduction to Economics, published in 1942. The accounting research of the time interpreted it as the whole system of accounts and balance sheets of a nation or a region, the price and quantity components of these accounts, and the various considerations to be derived there from. Social accounting was basically associated with national income accounting. An examination of the early publications in the accounting literature proves that point. A general theme in the early literature is the failure of the accountant to be involved in social accounting. The presence of business in initiatives implicating social accounting is so pervasive today that - parallel to what Monbiot (2001) observed to be a corporatization of the state - one can describe more recent developments in social accounting as the corporatization of social accounting. The manifestations of the ISEA and the GRI are here worth exploring.
