Abstract

This was a study about the importance of effective writing in the scientific community. This research was conducted to see if I could write a methods section that someone else could follow and replicate a multi panel figure that I had created. This was done by using only the written portion of a methods paragraph. The person attempting to recreate the figure had not previously seen the original figure. The replicate figure done in this study had many differences due to details that were left out in the description of the figure design. Although the figures had many differences the overall design was similar and leafminer activity was evident
