    Writing the discussion section of your paper
    Annotated parts of the discussion section: big summary/ importance statement for the science, scientific findings as extension of previous work, findings' scientific implications, how this engineering will facilitate future research, forward-looking statements about the field as a whole, a summary/importance of the engineering aspect of the work, how it facilitates scientific research, limitations of the platform show which questions would be unanswered, how it will facilitated medical research.

    Abstracts are your paper's first impression. A weak abstract can sink even the best research. I transformed my abstract game with this 6-step Nature formula (and you can, too)

    All rejected papers share one common flaw: a weak discussion section. I know because I used to write them too. If you're stuck on the discussion section, wondering how to tie it all together, this is for you:
    Annotated parts of the discussion section: big summary/ importance statement for the science, scientific findings as extension of previous work, findings' scientific implications, how this engineering will facilitate future research, forward-looking statements about the field as a whole, a summary/importance of the engineering aspect of the work, how it facilitates scientific research, limitations of the platform show which questions would be unanswered, how it will facilitated medical research.
