Individual skill

molcell-writing

Use to structure a Molecular Cell Article and hold its length — Summary, Introduction, Results, Discussion, STAR Methods, figure legends, references — with the ~7,000-word main-text and ~7-display-item budgets, and Results subheadings that carry the single-mechanism argument.

# Main-Text Writing & Structure (molcell-writing)

## When to trigger

- Unsure how a Molecular Cell Article is structured.
- The main text is over length, or the Discussion repeats the Results.
- The Methods are written as a free-text section (Molecular Cell uses STAR Methods).
- Results wander through techniques instead of advancing the single-mechanism argument.

## Molecular Cell Article structure (in order)

1. **Summary** — single paragraph (`molcell-summary`).
2. **Introduction** — ~3 short paragraphs posing the molecular question (`molcell-framing`).
3. **Results** — the bulk; organized by the proof of mechanism, **with descriptive subheadings**.
