Many research articles that appear in prestigious journals have this format: I - Introduction, II - Literature Review, III - Theoretical Framework, IV - Methodology & Data Sources, V - Empirical Section, VI - Conclusion VII - Bibliography.

Often graduate students have the chance to co-author with one of their advisors and this a wonderful way to hone one's skills in writing a successful research paper. If one has had such a positive and productive research experience, even after earning one's Ph.D. and working at a another university or industry position, by all means continue collaboration with one's graduate institution professors.

Also submitting articles for review is often a good opportunity to get feedback from anonymous referees that are helpful in revising one's paper. The various journals in one's discipline will offer guidance on the types of papers they consider for publication as well as writing guidelines for authors.

Good luck with your research!

Researchers should have a responsibility to communicate their research, to collaborate with others where appropriate and to transfer and exploit knowledge for the benefit of our scholar's community and society as a whole.

In support of the same, I am facilitating research education and guidance to early/mid career researchers through my social media platform www.facebook.com/ajitvoice

Regards,

According to my memory, I learned to write papers in two ways: By co-authoring with experienced colleagues, and by reading good papers.

I feel so strongly that a researcher should share his skills through scientific writing and publishing. It completes the cycle of his/her involvement in science and its processes and shows that such a researcher is prolific.

thank you sir for your such benefits comment, what you mentioned above really help the researchers to move on, but don't you think that some researchers need more than that? especially when we talk about co-author. I don't think it is easy for me to find collaboration? I sent a lot of invitations but no positive responses, so, I am still sending more.

thanks in advance again Dr.

Ajit Singh

I really appreciate your helpful comment sir

thanks in advance

Wolfgang R. Dick

I think it is good ways to improve, but, for me it is hard due to I have no experienced colleagues, I am trying to learn from papers.

thanks in advance Dr.

Oyebode Stephen Oyetoro

thats right, but I believe that some research needs more, a collaboration I mean.

thanks in advance.

Good morning

Yes, of course

We should write and express our studies, should share our skills through scientific writing and publishing. It is a good gift.

Best regards

I am surprised by this question because at my time it was one of the duty of the team leader to share his/her skill and expertise in scientific publications writing with graduate students and postdocs.

Hello Rafid Murad

I totally agree with Jean-Pierre Jost that it is a consideration/question. It is almost like an unwritten rule, understood by all (or maybe I'm just old-fashioned?) I like the way that Oyebode Stephen Oyetoro says that it is a "cycle" that I learn things from my supervisors before and now I should pass skills and knowledge to the so-called "next generation". I agree also with your point about collaboration; I make myself available and helpful to people from disciplines outside my own to pursue the right methods and to encourage them to work hard.

Ingrid Del Valle García Carreño

thanks for your such great idea and comments.

Jean-Pierre Jost

Hello Dr.

it may seem surprising for you due to the environment you tested or the academic culture that you have been through, in some countries we have some issues which I think could be classified in two problems: either the supervisor hasn't enough experience for help or he hasn't the culture to help others.

thank you sir for your comment

Hello Joseph C Lee

As I mentioned to Dr Jean-Pierre Jost that the academic culture plays a great role in this situation, besides the lack of experience in some countries, which leads the beginners to hard issues to learn or get the knowledge by themselves, it is possible but is surely different from getting help or guide from expertise people to make knowledge for all.

thank you sir for your comment

Hi

I think absolutely yes.. One shud shared his skills n expertise in writing n publicatoons

... Actually if anybody is not having skill how to write... It can be developed by many ways like by attending skill development trainings where persons are trained... By attending experts lectures.... And overall persons own efforts... His own will..

thanks for your comment, I appreciate your participation in this discussion.

Dear Rafid Murad thank you for asking this important technical question which will certainly be of sgnificant interest to many other RG members as well. In my personal opinion, senior researchers / professors / group leaders should first of all teach their science to their co-workers. In our discipline, scientific wrtiting is mainly the professor's job. The professor will also assist the students in writing their thesis. Besides, the best way to get a good impression of scientific writing is to regularly read the work published by the peers in your field.

When I had finished my PhD, I was strongly encouraged to disseminate our findings both by publication and by presenting at conferences.

One of my supervisors started me off by co-authoring an article about our research, that was published.

I then continued by myself, as by then, I had returned to work as a nurse practitioner. But later, disseminated the results of the follow-ups similarly.

Mary C R Wilson

thanks for your comment, it is really appreciated participation.

Experienced researchers have the moral and academic responsibility to train young and budding researchers about the art of conducting, writing and reporting research outcomes in manuscripts and scientific publication. The very essence of internship and academic tutelage. Likes beget likes. Thanks.

As a being researchers this is prime work. I don't know why such irrelevant questions is under discussion.

totally agree, it is necessary and enriching for everyone in science

Frank T. Edelmann

Thank you Dr for having you here.

Seyi Festus Olatoyinbo

some times we suffer from moral thinking absence or knowledge absence of supervisors.

thank you for your comment Dr.

Faruque Ahmad

I believe that everyone has his point of you when we discuss this matter, as many researchers askes such questions that's mean there is a problem, for me at least, I think there are many supervisors have not enough moral attitude to help others or haven't knowledge to do that.

thank you Dr for having you here

Barlin Olivares

thank you for having you here Dr.

@ Rafid Murad Thanks for your appreciative comment. best regards!!!

That's a wonderful question.

My answer is YES. Researchers need to really share their skills, and expertise in scientific writing, and publications.

What scientists all over the world have in common is curiosity. They always want to know, and get results for their self, and untill they see it, they may keep on doubting the experiment.

Now, as a scientist who have carried out the experiment, it's expected that I not only explain my processes, and skill adopted in getting my results but I also have it written , and published.

It will enable any of my colleagues who is interesting in it to see the step by step procedures and guidelines I followed to get the results.

It encourages positive progress in research especially scientific research. The incoming scientists will also see where to lay their hands, and from that foundation, their journey is made a little bit easy.

Imagine what it will look like if most of the scientific works were not written, and published.

So it's a YES.

Yes researchers should share skills in research papers writing and publications.

All the researchers are not permanent on the earth, as they get old they will stop working, and we are not permanent creatures on the earth, hence senior researcher should share their skills and knowledge to young researchers and they have to train youngsters..it's just carry over knowledge and skills from genereration to generation..our knowledge and skills should not die with us it should be shared to all the youngsters...so I made all most all my publications full text available to public as it shoud be useful to others...science should flow and open.. it should not be hidden

Yes! Sharing skills and experiences in research papers will definitely help the research community and makes you a mentor in the field

Hi

Definitely yes..cuz if we share our skills and expertise , it will not only help others but it will make we ppl great in morale n ethics...

Why not? but if it is for the patent, then the researcher should restrict

for sure, we talk here about sharing skills not a patent

thank you for your comment

Thank you Dr, Rafid Murad

Yeh researcher should share skills in scientific writing and publishing

That scientists should want their research to make a difference is a sine qua non. Most commonly, scientists hope that policy-makers will use hard-won scientific insights to make evidence-based decisions. The other reasons that scientists have for sharing knowledge include ensuring that culture values science, channeling adequate funding for research; helping people use science to make better personal decisions; fulfilling a duty to society; and strengthening personal reputation. Toward this, however, scientists need to better understand what they want to disseminate; what the target audience is and what they are offering it; when they should disseminate; what the most effective ways of disseminating are; who might help them disseminate; how they should prepare their strategy; how they can turn their strategy into a dissemination plan; how they can cost their dissemination activities; and how they will know they have been successful.
