A thread. 🧵
#AcademicTwitter #Postdoc #newPI
—
#1: Provide the right amount of detail
✅ Read other papers in your target journal to get a feel for the level of detail that is common to provide
✅ Expand on all details that allow others to reproduce your experiments in the Supporting Information
—
#2: Use a storytelling structure
✅ Tell your readers the purpose of each of your experiments
—
#3 Structure your M&M section in the same way your Results section is structured
✅ Order your experiments as you you present them in the Result section
✅ Use equivalent subsection headings as in the Results section
—
#4 Refer to your Supporting Information in an organised way
✅ Clearly indicate where exactly the info can be found in the SI
✅ Use subsections and clear titles in the SI that make it easy to find the referred information
—
#5 Don't self-plagiarise
✅ Rewrite already published descriptions of your experiments
✅ Refer to previous publications for detailed descriptions of your method
