Want to publish in top journals?

Check the first sentence of your ABSTRACT and INTRO.
Does it introduce:

A: Your project?
OR
B: Your Field?

Learn why it MUST be B and how to diagnose and fix it in your own papers.

It sucks when your science is rejected from top journals

It sucks more when your results are high impact but the editor couldnt see it

Helping publish >250 papers in 5yrs, I found that the addition of 1 sentence reduces desk rejects at top journals

#AcademicChatter
1/ If the editor isn’t in your field, they likely don’t know the “so what” behind your work.

Meaning they likely don’t know why it is being done and why they should care.

But how do we fix that?

For this we need to add ONE sentence in two key places: the INTRO and ABSTRACT
2/ In your INTRODUCTION:

1. Notice the movement of the scope of this INTRO (darkest color = broadest scope)

-> the scope is broadest at the beginning and narrows as you go down.

EXCEPT for the last sentence, which is back to the broadest scope.

Why? Example of a scientific int...

2/ I hated writing in grad school.

Going from reading papers to replicating one on my own was a daunting leap I didn’t know how to take…

So I mostly procrastinated and made excuses.

I've edited >250 papers and grants in ~5 years.

This volume taught me TONS about writing, incl. specific formulas for each section.
Why you shouldn’t feel bad using structured formulas to write (esp. when learning!) and why they can save you tons of time/stress.

@OpenAcademics
We stress so much as early career scientists because writing is daunting…

AND most of us receive no training and are expected to just figure it out.

When we struggle, we’re told we just need practice/experience, and very few places offer true training in scientific writing.
But…maybe we need to start seeing this for the gatekeeping it is.
Writing doesn’t have to be a mystical art-it is a skill like any other.

When learning, we can AND SHOULD use formulas to craft great writing.
In this way, we can figure out what makes a good paper/grant and WHY.

Your abstract has to do a lot of heavy lifting to convey the importance of your work in limited words.

Here’s how to make sure the IMPORTANCE is never missing in your ABSTRACT.
