Chapter One: Discover Audience Expectations

This book is running in a long beta. Revisions are currently underway. Check back in January 2024 for updated content.

This chapter will help you conceptualize your research in preparation for starting the scientific writing process. We will do this by first discussing how to think about and share the basic premise of your research. We will then identify a publication venue and prepare take-home messages. Additionally, you will be asked to compile a collection of research that you will analyze as we learn. Finally, we will explore the overall structure of a traditional peer-reviewed journal article before we break down each section in subsequent chapters.
