Purpose

State the research purpose in a single sentence within the first few pages

The purpose statement builds on the problem and topic area (what the research is about) by adding what the research aims to achieve. Editors look for a statement that begins: "This paper aims to ..." or "The goal of this research is ...", and expect to find it within a page or two. Finding several differently stated purposes is a bad sign, as an academic publication should have a single purpose, stated in a single sentence. More is not better when it comes to purposes. Reading the purpose addresses the first question of every reader - what is this publication about?
