Ryan Cory-Wright @ryancorywright.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Interesting how, in some fields, it's common to have a detailed limitations section, while this (common) advice in our field is to pretend the paper is perfect. Personally, I don't understand why we have a conclusions section if we are supposed to just restate the abstract. Do we need it? 140
Ryan Cory-Wright @ryancorywright.bsky.social · 18/08/2026FWIW, previously my coauthors have convinced me to keep a conclusion I wanted to delete because "it's what senior people expect to see in a paper when they skim read it, and if they see a conclusion is missing, they might think the paper is incomplete." 220
