1.10 Chat with non experts
Some researchers find it hard to write the first words of a new paper. This is often
because you don’t have clear ideas in your head. So it may be useful simply to talk
about your research with a friend or member of your family. To explain your
research to such non experts really forces you to think about what is and is not
important about your methodology and findings. After you have had this non-
technical ‘chat’, you can write down some notes, which you can then insert into the
relevant section files (Sect.
1.10
).
Chatting with friends and family also gives you some idea about how hard or easy
it is for non-experts to understand your subject. You can then think of ways to make
your paper more accessible for people whose knowledge of your topic is less than
yours.
