Some general guidelines for students and postdocs
BEFORE WRITING
In the long term:
Right from the beginning of your project, think about experiments in terms of future papers, especially the FIGURES.
It is easier to assemble all the data BEFORE writing the paper, than during the process.
Decide what are the key conclusions of the paper- the important message that you want to put across.
Do you have all the data AND the figures to prove your point?
If possible, give an informal ORAL presentation of the work before you start to write the paper.
This way you will clarify the story you want to tell and can anticipate objections or misunderstandings that must be addressed in the text.
