      Once the two camps adamant figures should be at the end vs inline have fought it out, we can start the methods at beginning vs end death matchhttps://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1369777976720560128 …

      What's your least favorite stylistic choice in research? For me it's putting the Methods section at the end of the paper. Methods is the most important part, it's what the authors actually did, putting it at the end is a terrible idea

      Ready. 100% with @GidMK. Methods should come between the Introduction and the Results!

      And don't even think of suggesting online only and not in the pdf!

      Still, there were some gruesome practices in the past - putting them in a reference or in a figure legend, for instance.

      Hide the Methods in the darkest depths of the journal's back-catalogue where only the bravest and least busy academics have time to hunt them down

          here’s the reality: 1) numbers for abstract views: residency times on full-text HTML : PDF d/l mean we know the vast majority of readers don't read the whole paper, 2) Anecdotal studies indicate people don't read papers in a linear order anyway 1/n

          So the notion that placing methods in a certain place is “the right place” doesn't make sense to me. I”m skeptical this would change reader behavior and that this is anything other than personal preference (I’ve heard every possible view argued at ed board meetings) 2/n

          And then they become the go-to place for burying awkward details.

          Bravest? Yes aka grads & postdoctoral researchers. Least busy? Certainly not & it is disappointing when published experiments need to be repeated with poor published methods.Troubleshooting takes time & funds.All of this also produces much plastic & chemical waste on daily basis.
