A Model is an article of the highest standard that serves as a stencil for writing one’s own manuscript. Concretely, a phrase, sentence, paragraph, transition between paragraphs, overall layout of a section, table or figure all qualify as Models. A Model has earned its place: it has been worked, seen by external reviewers and editors, revised and made the journal’s quality cut. Don’t reinvent the wheel: search for success and emulate it. This chapter discusses the use of Models and walks the reader through real examples.
