Abstract
The 'complete story' has become the standard in top journals. Narrative structure helps communicate science, but requiring mechanistic completeness for publication can exclude important discoveries, delay their dissemination, and push researchers to overfit their data to a narrative. This essay makes the case for making room for rigorous, unfinished stories.Source: PubMed (PMID: 42062117)View Original on PubMed
