THE GRAMMAR OF SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION
bull Science readers do not read chronologically they skimbull They are often easily derailed
ndash When writing pay attention to the derailersndash No unnecessary jargon in the figures or textndash Provide links between visuals and text eg ldquoas shown in Figure 4 rdquo

Readers often want to determine the punchline and main idearesult(s) extremely rapidly

THE GRAMMAR OF SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION
bull Science readers do not read chronologically they skimbull They are often easily derailed
ndash When writing pay attention to the derailersndash No unnecessary jargon in the figures or textndash Provide links between visuals and text eg ldquoas shown in Figure 4 rdquo
Gopen and Swan The science of Scientific Writing Science 1990httpwwwamericanscientistorgissuespubthe-science-of-scientific-writing
Readers often want to determine the punchline and main idearesult(s) extremely rapidly

THE GRAMMAR OF SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION
bull Science readers do not read chronologically they skimbull They are often easily derailed
ndash When writing pay attention to the derailersndash No unnecessary jargon in the figures or textndash Provide links between visuals and text eg ldquoas shown in Figure 4 rdquo
Gopen and Swan The science of Scientific Writing Science 1990httpwwwamericanscientistorgissuespubthe-science-of-scientific-writing
Readers often want to determine the punchline and main idearesult(s) extremely rapidly

STEP 1 ORGANIZE FIGURES AND TABLESSTORYBOARDING
bull Start with figures and tablesbull Assemble in a ldquostoryboardrdquobull Assess how each figure contributes to the major theme
(ie macrographic approach)
Upfront decisions on whether Figure or tablehellipand which figure or tablehellipUse the figures and tables to focus on your main theme(s)

STEP 2 PLAN
After you have your data consider if it is appropriate ldquoscreenplayrdquo for your article
bull Who is the audience and what is the journalndash Level of focus on the subject matterndash Personal familiarity
bull How much space do you havendash Cell Science NEJM ndash Can results be combined with Discussionndash Does the journal require a unique section (eg theory)

STORYBOARDING
bull Storyboarding is graphic organization in the form of figures illustrations or images displayed in sequence1
bull Process dates back to the early 1900s used by Walt Disney to captivate audiences
bull Storyboarding is even a feature in standard software eg Powerpoint

THE GRAMMAR OF SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION
bull Science readers do not read chronologically they skimbull They are often easily derailed
ndash When writing pay attention to the derailersndash No unnecessary jargon in the figures or textndash Provide links between visuals and text eg ldquoas shown in Figure 4 rdquo
Gopen and Swan The science of Scientific Writing Science 1990httpwwwamericanscientistorgissuespubthe-science-of-scientific-writing
Readers often want to determine the punchline and main idearesult(s) extremely rapidly

STEP 1 ORGANIZE FIGURES AND TABLESSTORYBOARDING
bull Start with figures and tablesbull Assemble in a ldquostoryboardrdquobull Assess how each figure contributes to the major theme
(ie macrographic approach)
Upfront decisions on whether Figure or tablehellipand which figure or tablehellipUse the figures and tables to focus on your main theme(s)

STEP 2 PLAN

STEP 1 ORGANIZE FIGURES AND TABLESSTORYBOARDING
bull Start with figures and tablesbull Assemble in a ldquostoryboardrdquobull Assess how each figure contributes to the major theme
(ie macrographic approach)
Upfront decisions on whether Figure or tablehellipand which figure or tablehellipUse the figures and tables to focus on your main theme(s)
23
STEP 2 PLAN
After you have your data consider if it is appropriate ldquoscreenplayrdquo for your article
bull Who is the audience and what is the journalndash Level of focus on the subject matterndash Personal familiarity
bull How much space do you havendash Cell Science NEJM ndash Can results be combined with Discussionndash Does the journal require a unique section (eg theory)

STEP 3 WRITE IN NON-LINEAR SEQUENCE

THE GRAMMAR OF SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION
bull Science readers do not read chronologically they skimbull They are often easily derailed
ndash When writing pay attention to the derailersndash No unnecessary jargon in the figures or textndash Provide links between visuals and text eg ldquoas shown in Figure 4 rdquo

THE GRAMMAR OF SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION
bull Science readers do not read chronologically they skimbull They are often easily derailed
ndash When writing pay attention to the derailersndash No unnecessary jargon in the figures or textndash Provide links between visuals and text eg ldquoas shown in Figure 4 rdquo
Gopen and Swan The science of Scientific Writing Science 1990httpwwwamericanscientistorgissuespubthe-science-of-scientific-writing
Readers often want to determine the punchline and main idearesult(s) extremely rapidly
