SCIENTIFIC FIRST. STYLISTIC SECOND.

The scientific writing workflow

From the scientific question to submission, keep the evidence connected. These stages describe how the work fits together—not five mandatory steps for every edit.

Build the evidence chain before improving the sentences.

Your input

Main claims, result tables and the current manuscript.

Your outcome

A coherent argument and the gaps that need attention.

StatisticsCitation supportData availability
Checks throughout, not just at the end.

Start at any level: a full paper, one section or a single paragraph. A diagnosis request produces findings. A revision request authorizes changes only within its stated scope.

Fix the argument before its wording

Check whether the question, claim and evidence support each other. Then address section logic, passage clarity and sentence style where a problem actually exists. Sound layers do not need a rewrite.

Keep integrity checks separate

Statistical reporting, bibliography consistency, source existence and claim support answer different questions. A source that cannot be accessed is not a source that has passed verification.

Recheck connected claims, not everything

When a Results claim changes, recheck the places that restate it. A focused consistency check does not authorize rewriting protected passages or reopening settled scientific decisions.

Writing a Review or Perspective?

Use the article-type-specific architecture. A long research paper does not become a Review just because it is long.

THE SECTION CONTRACTS

Every section has a scientific job.

An Abstract is not a shortened Results section. A Discussion is not a list of limitations. Make each part do the work the paper needs.

Guidance informed by a sample of 28 method papers; not an official journal format. The journal’s current instructions take precedence.

The whole argument. Not every result.

Purpose
Put the reader in front of their problem by the second sentence, then connect the gap, approach, main finding and implication in terms a broad peer can follow.
Depends on
Settled Results, the central answer and the Introduction’s gap.
A common mistake
Adding a stronger headline claim than the Results support.
