Let your draft cool, then paraphrase it
Revising your draft
Research and writing

If you start your project early, you’ll have time to let your revised draft cool. What seems good one day often looks different the next. When you return to your draft, don’t read it straight through; skim its top-level parts: its introduction, the first paragraph of each major section, and the conclusion. Then, based only on what you have read, paraphrase it for someone who hasn’t read it. Does the paraphrase hang together? Does it fairly sum up your argument? Even better, ask someone else to skim your paper by reading just its introduction and the introduction to each major section: how well that person summarizes your paper will predict how well your readers will understand it.

Finally, be receptive to feedback, especially from more experienced researchers and your teacher or advisor. You don’t have to follow every suggestion, but you should consider each carefully. In chapter 12 we tell you how to get the most out of comments on writing.
