Writing Strategies for Approach the Niche

This book is running in a long beta. Revisions are currently underway. Check back in January 2025 for updated content.

Approach the Niche can be used to foreground the presentation of results by reiterating relevant information from the Introduction and/or the Methods. Such information may include the study purpose and/or problem and specifics related to the study Methods. You may also use this Goal to preview the Results section as a way to orient readers through the content of the section. In essence, this Goal is about old information from earlier in the manuscript, and it helps to segue into the actual reporting of results. To achieve this goal, there are three main strategies: Provide Background, Restate Study Specifics, and Rationalize Study Specifics.
