Papers are stories about questions and answers. ■ Check that your paper is focused; leave out results that are not required for supporting the key conclusion, or move them to the SI. ■ Check that you provide enough background information: your reader does not know what you know. Err on the side of caution: papers that are too easy to read are rarer than unicorns. ■ Check that the figures tell your story. If you just glance through the figures and skim their captions, do you get the point of the paper? ■ Check that you have provided all the necessary informa- tion for the reader to be able to replicate your results. ■ Check that the discussion section contains new questions in addition to answers and that it makes the significance of your results clear. ■ Check that the paper ends with something concrete and worth remembering. ■ Check that your nomenclature and notation are consist- ent.
