Dear all,
Absolutely some tips are necessary for writing an article that some researcher don't consider them! In addition, some tips are asked by journal editors or reviewers newly.
I will be grateful to share your experiences.

- Writing should be clear and understandable. The readers should not have to make an effort to what the writer wants to communicate; message should be comprehensible.
- Rather than having an esoteric title, it should convey message about what the authors have worked upon.
- The message should be well-defined in the abstract also as this is the section which a reader reads before deciding to move on to the detailed paper.
- I believe being systematic in one’s approach while writing helps the author convey her/his message to the readers.
- Feedback and constructive criticisms from colleagues are valuable.
- You may consider taking help of the librarian for useful medical resources.
- Each journal does have its methods and protocols that are specified in ‘guidelines to authors’ section that need to be followed by any writer.
Quoting Mark Twain “The time to begin writing an article is when you have finished it to your satisfaction. By that time you begin to clearly and logically perceive what it is you really want to say.”
Dear Dr Sonali Vadi ,
Thanks for your good explanations. I know that the guidelines for authors are different in different journals.
Some notes are essential to apply in introduction and discussion sections that authors input their personal interests in their writing. I want to know this tips in their standard format .
Regards
