Plot-Logic-Pipeline

Systematically deconstruct scientific papers by following the figure-discussion logical backbone.

When to Use

• Analyzing a research paper's argument structure
• Reviewing manuscripts before submission
• Understanding how figures support claims in technical papers
• Mapping evidence sources (literature vs. new measurements)
• Identifying logical gaps or unsupported claims

Core Principle

Figures are the bare bones of a paper's logic flow. Each figure corresponds to a discussion that either:

• Sets up the next key finding (preparation)
• States the key finding (conclusion)

Complete understanding requires analyzing every figure-discussion pair and tracking evidence sources.
