A Scientific Approach to Scientific WritingDrafting Papers

A Scientific Approach to Scientific Writing: Drafting Papers [Writing a paper can seem an overwhelming task initially, since there are many points to include, and it may seem very difficult to arrange the information coherently and appropriately. However, scientific papers follow a standard format, with minor variations, based on discrete sections (Abstract/Summary, Introduction, etc.), in which information on various aspects of the study should be presented in a strict order. This format provides a highly convenient template, allowing any paper to be composed by writing brief, simple statements about the rationale, objectives, what was done, the findings and the implications of the study to be reported. In conjunction with sub-headings, if necessary, these statements can provide a framework showing precisely the information (and references) that needs to be included and the order in which it should be presented in each section. Using two illustrative, fictional studies, this chapter details how this systematic approach can be used to draft a paper or short communication for a peer-reviewed journal describing any relatively simple study. The importance of highlighting novelties and anomalies and dealing strategically with limitations is also addressed.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Writing a paper can seem an overwhelming task initially, since there are many points to include, and it may seem very difficult to arrange the information coherently and appropriately. However, scientific papers follow a standard format, with minor variations, based on discrete sections (Abstract/Summary, Introduction, etc.), in which information on various aspects of the study should be presented in a strict order. This format provides a highly convenient template, allowing any paper to be composed by writing brief, simple statements about the rationale, objectives, what was done, the findings and the implications of the study to be reported. In conjunction with sub-headings, if necessary, these statements can provide a framework showing precisely the information (and references) that needs to be included and the order in which it should be presented in each section. Using two illustrative, fictional studies, this chapter details how this systematic approach can be used to draft a paper or short communication for a peer-reviewed journal describing any relatively simple study. The importance of highlighting novelties and anomalies and dealing strategically with limitations is also addressed.]
