Scientific texts and media organize ideas in the following ways:
-
Describing a sequence of events: This method is often used in experimental reports and case studies to detail the steps taken during research or observations.
-
Categorizing or listing items: Scientific texts frequently categorize information to help readers understand relationships between concepts, species, or phenomena.
In contrast, while some scientific texts may utilize persuasive techniques (e.g., in opinion pieces or grant proposals), this is not a primary organizational method in standard scientific communication. Similarly, focusing on technical jargon is more about the style of writing rather than a method of organizing ideas.
So, the most applicable methods are:
- Describing a sequence of events
- Categorizing or listing items
