The writing of a scientific paper has an ultimate goal which is to communicate the findings and significance of your research to a reader who (1) isn't familiar with your field area, samples, ormethods, (2)may be more or less skeptical of the claims you are making, and(3)probably has more pressing things to do with their time and so will skip your article unless you persuade him or her of its clarity and significance. Keep in mind that no one will be obligated to read your paper, so you have to persuade them to start reading, and you have to write clearly enough that they keep reading. (L.B.
