Organizing your scientific paper: note-taking and outlining for success

Outlining is a useful skill for organizing your scientific work into papers or presentations and is especially helpful for writing in English. The outlining process begins long before the article is written, and helps scientists keep track of completed and pending writing tasks. This course demonstrates the use of the outline function of your word processor, SciFlow and other templating applications to structure and continuously revise the format of your paper (or other scientific documents) from first steps to final revisions. It will also be useful when you respond to reviewers. Outlining can help medical researchers or clinicians who must write articles, reports, or who wish to submit grant applications.
