Abstract

People love stories. We watch, read, tell, and listen to stories every day. Despite this, most researchers don't think in terms of story when they write a journal paper. To Anna Clemens, that's a missed opportunity, because storytelling is easy to implement in your manuscript provided you know how. Think of the six plot elements - character, setting, tension, action, climax, resolution – and the three other story essentials – main theme, chronology, purpose. You’ll soon outline the backbone of your narrative and be ready to write a paper that is concise, compelling, and easy to understand.
