How to Outline Your Scientific Research Paper

This video covers how to outline a scientific paper. Outlines provide an overview of essential elements necessary in a scientific paper and help the scientific author organize their material to create a logical presentation of their research before getting into the nitty gritty of writing the narrative. Starting with an outline is particularly important for inexperienced writers. I show how to use the outlining function in Microsoft Word and illustrate the process with an example.
