## Overview

The Methods section is a recipe: a competent reader should be able to
reproduce the work. This skill covers calibrating detail (what's novel
vs routine), organizing methods logically, reporting standards by field,
the statistics-reporting checklist, and writing so that reproducibility
is real rather than aspirational.

## When to use

- Writing the Methods section of a paper or thesis
- Deciding how much detail a protocol needs (main text vs supplement)
- Reporting computational methods: software versions, parameters, hardware
- Writing statistical methods that reviewers accept
