Abstract
Organization is essential for a well-written scientific document. The readers must know where to quickly find the information they seek, from the cover page to the reference list. This chapter explains the parts of a typical scientific document, how to structure these parts into a well-organized document, and how to write each part to effectively communicate the science.
