Constructing Effective Paragraphs

Abstract

A well-written scientific manuscript demands strong, effective paragraphs for support. An effective paragraph is characterized by unity of theme, and those themes from all paragraphs together provide the constituents of the manuscript. This chapter describes how to construct potent paragraphs, focusing on the coherence internal to a paragraph centering about the unitary theme, as well as the coherence between paragraphs that make the manuscript fluid.
