It’s a good summary for sure. But I want something that reads it word for word.

I’ve been thinking about this: what you want is a place to publish posters.

I wonder if that exists?

I like brief papers- some of my most impactful work is short form. There especially, every word counts, and I focus even more intensely on the writing.

At the end of the day: you have the opportunity to try to win your colleagues over on this in the battleground of ideas. Best of luck.

Even more impactful is a paper that tries to compel the reader to understand the problem your way.

I never understood the idea of faux objective writing. Science is a battleground of ideas, put your best foot forward.

In my opinion: yes. Papers shouldn’t be a dispassionate summary of results (and if you write/give talks this way, it’s probably not very effective), but at a minimum a story motivated by a question/need, connecting one result to the next, ending with how the results change your field.
