Research papers\u00a0are\u00a0commonly\u00a0known for their presentation of facts and findings rather than\u00a0scientific storytelling. In fact, \u201cstorytelling\u201d is not something that comes to mind when one thinks of research papers. Yet,\u00a0there are manuscripts out there that\u00a0creatively use\u00a0techniques of storytelling in academic writing<\/span>1<\/sup><\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the first part of this three-part series, we discussed\u00a0<\/span>why<\/span><\/i>\u00a0it is important to incorporate\u00a0a storytelling narrative\u00a0into\u00a0research paper writing<\/a>. In the second part, we will\u00a0explore three effective techniques\u00a0for storytelling in\u00a0a research manuscript\u00a0along with tips on implementing them.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Narrative Storytelling Techniques<\/h2>\n

1. Add a Human Face to the Story<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

2. Motion and Pacing<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

3. Maintain a Conversational Tone<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Add a Human Face to the Story<\/h3>\n

Emotions help\u00a0readers connect better with any piece of writing.\u00a0It makes them relate to the content in a way\u00a0that\u00a0helps grasp\u00a0information\u00a0faster and\u00a0retain\u00a0them longer.\u00a0While\u00a0adding an emotional\u00a0component\u00a0to a blogpost\u00a0in an informal setting\u00a0may be simple, how do you achieve it in academic writing?<\/span><\/p>\n

Provide examples or narrate experiences\u00a0that readers can easily relate to<\/h4>\n

For instance, if your study discusses\u00a0a novel method of ensuring safety in nuclear power plants,\u00a0do not start directly by explaining\u00a0your\u00a0study\u2019s purpose.\u00a0First,\u00a0describe\u00a0a few historic examples of major accidents that\u00a0had a significant impact on common people.\u00a0Emphasize\u00a0the\u00a0extent of\u00a0impact, both short-term and long-term,\u00a0such that the readers understand the\u00a0motivation for\u00a0initiating\u00a0your study.\u00a0Then,\u00a0proceed\u00a0to highlight why your\u00a0novel method\u00a0can help prevent such accidents in the future.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Describe concrete actions<\/h4>\n

When\u00a0identifying\u00a0a problem, present a vivid imagery of\u00a0why it is significant and\u00a0how it is critical that you address it.\u00a0This gives readers a\u00a0chance to\u00a0visualize what you are\u00a0attempting\u00a0to convey.\u00a0<\/span>
\nFor instance,\u00a0say you have\u00a0identified\u00a0a major gap in the education sector\u00a0that is negatively affecting students\u2019 learning processes.\u00a0What are the challenges that\u00a0you see and how have they\u00a0impacted\u00a0students?\u00a0Describe them in sufficient detail\u00a0first. Then,\u00a0highlight\u00a0what actions can help tackle\u00a0each of\u00a0these challenges.\u00a0You may\u00a0even\u00a0present them\u00a0in a tabular format to underscore which solution works\u00a0best for which problem to help readers understand your intent.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Motion and Pacing<\/h3>\n

A good story\u00a0combines action and commentary to set the motion and pacing! While motion moves the story forward, pacing decides the rate at which the story unfolds<\/span>2<\/sup><\/span>.\u00a0Here\u2019s\u00a0how this can be\u00a0incorporated\u00a0in\u00a0scientific storytelling.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Use turbo-verbs when describing actions<\/h4>\n

These are verbs that help you\u00a0enhance the power of what is being conveyed, adding more weight to your narrative.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance,\u00a0say\u00a0\u201cThe research was\u00a0<\/span>conducted<\/span><\/i>\u00a0in a laboratory setting.\u201d\u00a0instead of\u00a0\u201cThe research was\u00a0<\/span>done<\/span><\/i>\u00a0in a laboratory setting.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Or\u00a0write,\u00a0\u201cWe\u00a0<\/span>administered<\/span><\/i>\u00a0the questionnaire\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>recorded<\/span><\/i>\u00a0the participants\u2019 responses.\u201d\u00a0instead of\u00a0\u201cWe\u00a0<\/span>distributed<\/span><\/i>\u00a0the questionnaires\u00a0to the study\u00a0participants\u00a0and their answers were\u00a0<\/span>noted<\/span><\/i>.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the meaning\u00a0remains\u00a0the same, the use of turbo verbs improves the\u00a0writing\u00a0style and tone of a sentence.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Create a \u201cto-and-fro\u201d\u00a0style of\u00a0narration<\/h4>\n

Readers are likely to lose\u00a0interest if the research paper follows a monotonous tone in the information flow.\u00a0Keep them engaged by incorporating\u00a0a rhythmic prose\u00a0in\u00a0your writing.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, start with a general idea and then move to the specifics.\u00a0Bring the readers back to another idea and then delve into its specifics\u00a0with examples.\u00a0<\/span>
\nThis can typically be done by using suitable sub-headings to categorize your\u00a0Methods and Results\u00a0sections into\u00a0appropriate sub-sections. The paragraphs within each sub-section\u00a0should be logically structured, referring to tables, figures, and graphs where necessary to provide sufficient context to the readers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Vary the lengths of sentences and paragraphs<\/h4>\n

Have a mix of short and long sentences in your paragraphs.\u00a0Non-native authors\u00a0may consider writing lengthy sentences as a sign of\u00a0experienced\u00a0writer. But this is not true. In research papers, extremely lengthy sentences stuffed with technical jargon could often confuse readers.\u00a0They might even have to read the sentences multiple times to understand your intent.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore,\u00a0avoid\u00a0lengthy paragraphs\u00a0that\u00a0run for\u00a0pages, especially when you are explaining a complex concept.\u00a0Keep the language straightforward and use jargon only when\u00a0needed. Let the sentences vary in length as the information flows through the\u00a0structured paper. Use bullet points or numbered lists to\u00a0facilitate\u00a0reading.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Use synonyms to avoid a monotonous tone<\/h3>\n

A research paper\u00a0tends to become monotonous, especially when the length exceeds\u00a08 to 10 pages. You need to pace your\u00a0writing such that the reader\u00a0remains\u00a0interested\u00a0to dive\u00a0deep into your paper after the first perusal.\u00a0You can make the reading process interesting by using synonyms (where possible)\u00a0so that the reader does not\u00a0encounter\u00a0repeated terms.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example,\u00a0repeatedly using the word \u201canalyze\u201d when describing your experiment could annoy\u00a0the reader. You can use\u00a0words like \u201cinvestigate,\u201d \u201canalyze,\u201d \u201cexamine,\u201d and \u201cobserve\u201d\u00a0in different contexts\u00a0when describing your\u00a0research experience.\u00a0Even using different forms of the word, such as\u00a0\u201cinvestigating\u201d or \u201canalyzing\u201d could help avoid\u00a0a boring\u00a0tone in your writing.\u00a0However,\u00a0do\u00a0NOT\u00a0use synonyms for technical terms, as these need to remain consistent to avoid confusion.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Maintain a Conversational Tone<\/h3>\n

If you were to explain your study to someone face-to-face, you would\u00a0make it conversational\u00a0rather\u00a0than\u00a0give\u00a0a lecture! Likewise,\u00a0your readers should\u00a0feel \u201ctalked to\u201d and not \u201cspoken at.\u201d\u00a0Maintaining\u00a0a colloquial tone<\/span>3<\/sup><\/span>\u00a0in your research writing helps\u00a0readers connect better with your story. Here are some ways to do that:<\/span><\/p>\n

Use personal pronouns if the journal permits<\/h4>\n

You might have been discouraged from using personal\u00a0pronouns\u00a0(e.g., we, our, you, your)\u00a0in academic writing\u00a0in your\u00a0grad\u00a0school.\u00a0But this concept is quite\u00a0outdated\u00a0and\u00a0modern research writing allows using personal pronouns. They\u00a0help\u00a0pull the readers in rather than push them away.\u00a0So\u00a0use them in your paper appropriately.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, a few journals might explicitly instruct not to use first-person language in the paper or\u00a0in\u00a0certain sections of the paper (e.g., abstract).\u00a0Always\u00a0read the journal guidelines and use\u00a0appropriate language\u00a0in your writing.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Give agency to\u00a0people and organizations\u00a0when\u00a0reporting information<\/h4>\n

One of the primary purposes of research articles is reporting findings, either novel or\u00a0existing ones.\u00a0Often, authors simply state facts without clarifying \u201cwho\u201d reported it.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, when you describe previously reported\u00a0findings,\u00a0use the names of authors or institutions rather than abstract concepts.\u00a0You can write\u00a0\u201c<\/span>Darwin reported that<\/span><\/i>\u2026\u201d\u00a0instead of \u201c<\/span>Evolution theory says<\/span><\/i>\u2026\u201d\u00a0This gives agency to the person who reported\u00a0research findings, clearly\u00a0indicating\u00a0the source of your information.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Occasionally, use active voice in sentences<\/h4>\n

It is alright to use active voice in academic writing to maintain variety in sentence structure. Although passive writing is often encouraged in academic writing, the occasional use of active writing helps keep the tone conversational.\u00a0<\/span>
\nFor instance, say \u201c<\/span>We collected<\/span><\/i>\u00a0the data from\u00a0the following databases.\u201d\u00a0instead of \u201c<\/span>The data was collected\u00a0<\/span><\/i>from the following databases.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>
\nIn the second sentence, it is not\u00a0clear\u00a0\u201cwho\u201d collected the data, which may confuse the readers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n

These\u00a0strong narrative storytelling techniques can help you author a compelling research paper,\u00a0following\u00a0a basic storytelling structure while\u00a0maintaining\u00a0scientific objectivity. In the next part,\u00a0we will learn\u00a0how\u00a0the\u00a0IMRaD\u00a0format (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion)\u00a0should be structured<\/a> to\u00a0practically incorporate\u00a0these storytelling techniques.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
