hi everyone
I'm thinking of writing a short communication, but I have seen some samples -- and some of them are really NOT short at all, one of them was more than 15 pages!

Anyway, if I only want to talk about one part of the results, should I still say what was done for the WHOLE study? I still can't get my head around this, it's almost noon now-- and my mind is still at a blank.

Any advice?
thanks

My understanding is that whatever you are including in the paper, whether it's a whole study or a bit of it, you write it as a sort of report, so the methods, results and discussion are all together. I think what you include depends on the nature of the article.

thanks Tree. I have an idea for a paper, will get on it.
