Write papers in the order that works
Figures first, methods while fresh, results mechanically, intro last — reducing revision churn.
intermediate~40 minResearchersPhD StudentsPostdocs
Steps
- 1Finalize figure set first; they ARE the story spine
- 2Draft methods immediately while details are fresh
- 3Write results referencing figures mechanically; interpretation comes later
- 4Discussion maps each finding to literature honestly including conflicts
- 5Introduction LAST: funnel from broad need to your gap
- 6Abstract last-of-all: one sentence per section plus why-it-matters
Common Pitfalls
- ▲Intro-first writing that changes after results solidify
- ▲Figure legends drafted separately from figures
