How to Use Narrative Structure in a Scientific Paper

In writing a scientific paper, it's necessary to do more than just present your data. You must tell a story that appeals to the reader. In this video, I show how to improve the readability of a scientific paper by using narrative techniques. An effective narrative recounts a sequence of events in a manner that captures and holds the reader’s attention and ensures their comprehension of what a study found. A narrative structure can make your papers more enjoyable to read and appeal to a wider audience.
