It’s not only mendatory but also part and parcel fpr a researcher to publish his or her article in a high Impact factor journal. But it needs a good writing skill too. So how a researcher can develop his skill.
Bir - the reasons are quite we'll documented. Perhaps the attached chapter on research writing and dissemination may assist. It's principles are generic.
Improving writing skills takes time and effort. I would suggest the following things that I personally do.
Reading more research relevant articles, news and books will improve scientific writing skills. At best part, the individual should have his own skill describing a sentence in different and attractive way.
Than you very much Lakshmanan Loganathan , Ahtisham Younas , Pritam Kumar Panda
and Dean Whitehead , M. Mamunur Rahman for your nice and valuable suggestions.
Reading high ranking journal articles from one's area of research is the best way to formulate one's own argument in the paper he/she writes.
Academic writing is challenging even for English native speakers. However, mastering its basic principles is achievable. Reading is your first step to boost your academic writing skills. I always advise my students to find articles which focus on their area of interest, that is published in prestigious journals, and use them as role-models when writing. Try it & you will see its reflection on your academic writing style!
Thank you

High ranked scientific journals give the author experience and lessons, that improve his ability in scientific writing, so I think it is important issue to publish your article in good journal.
Для развития академических навыков письма любому ученому необходимо совмещать чтение научной литературы и написание собственных исследовательских статей. Кроме того, определенный опыт дает рецензирование и редактирование статей других ученых и выпускных работ студентов.
Paul If a researcher or teacher wants to improve their written English, then I highly recommend this book:
The Little, Brown Handbook 12th Edition
by H. Ramsey Fowler (Author), Jane E. Aaron (Author)
https://www.amazon.com/Little-Brown-Handbook-12th/dp/0205213073
I agree with my colleagues who recommended more reading from high impact journal in your field.
I also recommend internal review by your network. It is great to have connections who can make time to read and criticize your work before submitting to the journal.
Regards,
As others have recommended above, read and practice a lot. This will help considerably. However, when all is said and done, really good writing is a talent one either has or does not have.
Hi all
to me, I think you can improve on your writing skills by:
1. Reading as many publications as possible
2. Getting others involved in the review of what you write
3. Getting familiar with publications from your area of specialty. This will enable you to acquire sufficient mastery of the technical term and methods associated with your field
All of Langsi Jacob's suggestion will help considerably, but inborn ability is still great to have.
I agreed with Joseph that inborn ability is a factor, then critical and analytical thinking and ability to read voraciously.
One means of improving one's writing skills is to consult such excellent references as Diana Hacker's "A Writer's Reference" or Strunk and White's "Elements of Style." A second tip is to read frequently cited papers on topics of one's research interests in journals in which one aspires to publish. Third, check to see if these journals offer style guidelines for potential authors. A final tip is to submit paper for publication. If the article is eventually accepted, the editors often make helpful corrections that should prove useful when one writes subsequent papers. Good Luck!
In my opinion, we can improves our writting skills through reading. If you wanna write a article, very suggested to you to read more articles in your field to get some idea and see how there explaint certain things in best way.
