What tools do you use? What shortcuts do you use? What motivations keep you going?
I believe this depends on the journal you want to publish your article. Templates are sometimes available to guide you in some journals. First thing is to understand the requirements of the journal with which you intend to publish your article. The drive and joy to make your hardwork widely recognized keeps you going.
Dear Jecinta,
I will like to say something about motivation. When I first submitted my MS for publication in a world renowned journal of plant taxonomy, it was rejected even without reviewing it. I tried again and again but failed three times more but I was not at all disheartened. I was mentally confident that one day or another I will definitely publish my paper in that journal. Ultimately I published a paper in that journal 15 years after my first attempt.
So never be disheartened. Keep on trying till you succeed.
With best wishes,
Subir.
Hello Dr. Jecinta all well? I think the key point is motivation. You should ask yourself what led to devote to this research in particular. I am quite sure that everybody always try to do your best. For a good article, organize your experimental data, check the basis of their theoretical analysis and and invert the roles ie, be the judge of your own article. Then, choose the newspaper nearest your area of research and follow the instructions for writing and sending. I agree with Dr. Oraeki "The drive and joy to make your hardwork widely recognized keeps you going." Good lucky and best regards.
Dear Jecinta Ndiombueze Anowu ,
please find the attachment and i think it helps you.

I think, every journal has Author Guidelines, which is the best guide to prepare an article.
What motivations keep you going?
I believe that if we do research, we must publish our results. A paper is like a diploma or even a medal that proves how well your study/research was. When you get a paper published, that gives you a sense of achievement. If you wish to publish in a good journal, then you must start with a good experimental design adding innovative ideas and test new hypothesis. I work in a developing country so my research aims at solving problems that will improve the small farmers quality of life. I think there is no single answer for this as each of us has different motivations for publishing. My company has recently adopted a career ladder system which gives points for publishing, so those who publish more will get higher up in the ladder and earn more than those who do not publish or publish little. I have been publishing way back before that system started, Money is not a good reason for publishing. I will be worry that that system could bring dishonesty, plagiarism and even unethical behavior because the goal for publishing will no longer be pure science. I will like to think that we do science because of the love we have for it, because we like what we do, and because we enjoy doing research. Food for thought.
Dear @Jecinta, let me bring some good resources for publishing scientific article or book, delivered by Elsevier.
There are many articles in RG database, as well as many research question about the issue.

Thank you all for your wonderful suggestions; thank you Profs. Igoli and Ljubomir Jacić for the publications.
I think it is fair to say that more is published than people have time to read. Unfortunately many academic institutions tie job and promotion prospects to publication and may add to the pressure by specifying particular journals.
As a reviewer I look for an article that, has something new to say, does justice to current research, and supports conclusions with data and statistics.
If your research is less well resourced, it can still get published if what you say has a particular "ecological validity" that distinguishes it from the research coming from some mainstream institutions.
If you are writing in a second language try to get a colleague in USA UK etcetera to read it through - "International English" can be confusing and may be a factor in rejection.
You may also want to consider submitting to a journal that is particularly good at reviewing - reviewers are generally prepared to spend a lot of time considering what you have written and offering constructive comments - use the feedback and resubmit perhaps to other journals.
Early in my career I had a paper dismissed as "pedestrian" and decided not to pursue publication so I can understand how daunting it can be.
As others have said persevere - and don't take rejection too personally.
dear Jecinta
Here is some suggestion which help you to find possible journals for publishing your manuscript (based on the title and content of the abstract material).
http://journalfinder.elsevier.com/
Elsevier Journal Finder
Tools: LaTeX due to the use of a gigantic heap of mathematical formulas.
Shortcuts: there are no shortcuts. Hard work is the only way. Tools for making it easier of course exist, such as databases of journal articles to make sure you are not solving a problem that has already been solved, and to link your work to the history of the field so that you can let the reader have a feel for how it has developed (at least according to your view of it).
Motivations: to solve a hard problem that others have failed to solve; to write that complete paper that solves an important (or simply cool) problem; to write a very good overview of a field that will help a lot of scientists in the future.
Visit Publishing Campus if you need help and hints for excellent publication. It is good training offered. Free online lectures. Interactive training courses. Expert advice. Resources to support you in publishing your world-class book or journal article...
https://www.publishingcampus.elsevier.com/
Before using anything i advice you stop using word or anything related or even like it, it is not helpful, it also destroys your happiness and joy in life =|
Best tools that i found helping are these, i hope they help you out too:
1- MikTex ( as your latex interpreter, libraries, packages and stuff)
https://miktex.org
2- TeXstudio ( for typesetting, citing, producing pdf and stuff like that)
http://www.texstudio.org
3- Researchgate to ask your other questions =D
PS: don't get scared Latex is fun and easy to grasp.
https://miktex.org
http://www.texstudio.org
More on tools and strategies: To contribute to the scientific field of your choice you first need to master its basics, at the level of a PhD student, at least, by taking all the courses you can find, and reading the best books and current articles; it is indeed quite impossible to define the state-of-the-art, and improve it, if you do not grasp the state-of-the-art first.
Then you have to also learn about how scientific results are created, by witnessing how researchers work - perhaps through discussions with your more senior colleagues, taking advanced classes, and talking about your work with your fellow PhD students. There is no short-cut in this world, if you want to be a scholar.
Further, you need to learn how to write scientific articles; that is also a competence that you are not born with, but may have a more or less talent for.
Each publisher issues guidelines for writers. You need to decide which guidelines best serve you purpose and conform them. Very important you need to acquire a group of associates to proof read and also to help in the writing. Single writers working alone are usually ignored. Their best work will go unpublished on a shelf somewhere and some other researchers will get the credits.
Dear Jecinta, when you organize your manuscript you have to take into account this points:
TITLE
Make your title specific enough to describe the contents of the paper, but not so technical that only specialists will understand. The title usually describes the subject matter of the article, sometimes a title summarizes the results.
AUTHORS
1. The person who did the work and wrote the paper is generally listed as the first author of a research paper.
2. For published articles, other people who made substantial contributions to the work are also listed as authors.
ABSTRACT
1. An abstract, or summary, is published together with a research article, giving the reader a "preview" of what's to come. Such abstracts may also be published separately in bibliographical sources. They allow other scientists to quickly scan the large scientific literature, and decide which articles they want to read in depth.
2. Your abstract should be one paragraph, of 100-250 words depending on the Journal, which summarizes the aim, methods, results and conclusions of the paper.
3. It is not easy to include all this information in just a few words. Start by writing a summary that includes whatever you think is important, and then gradually prune it down to size by removing unnecessary words.
3. Don't use abbreviations or citations in the abstract. It should be able to stand alone without any footnotes.
INTRODUCTION
What question did you ask in your experiment? Why is it interesting? The introduction summarizes the relevant literature so that the reader will understand why you were interested in the question you asked. End with a sentence explaining the specific question you asked in this experiment.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
1. How did you answer this question? There should be enough information here to allow another scientist to repeat your experiment. Look at other papers that have been published in your field to get some idea of what is included in this section.
2. If you had a complicated protocol, it may helpful to include a diagram, table or flowchart to explain the methods you used.
3. Do not put results in this section. You may, however, include preliminary results that were used to design the main experiment that you are reporting on.
4. Mention relevant ethical considerations. If you used human subjects, did they consent to participate. If you used animals, what measures did you take to minimize pain?
RESULTS
1. This is where you present the results you've gotten. Use graphs and tables if appropriate, but also summarize your main findings in the text. Do NOT discuss the results or speculate as to why something happened; that goes in the Discussion.
2. You don't necessarily have to include all the data you've gotten during the experiment.
3. Use appropriate methods of showing data. Don't try to manipulate the data to make it look like you did more than you actually did.
TABLES AND GRAPHS
1. If you present your data in a table or graph, include a title describing what's in the table. For graphs, you should also label the x and y axes.
2. Don't use a table or graph just to be "fancy". If you can summarize the information in one sentence, then a table or graph is not necessary.
DISCUSSION
1. Highlight the most significant results, but don't just repeat what you've written in the Results section. How do these results relate to the original question? Do the data support your hypothesis? Are your results consistent with what other investigators have reported? If your results were unexpected, try to explain why. Is there another way to interpret your results? What further research would be necessary to answer the questions raised by your results?
2. End with a one-sentence summary of your conclusion, emphasizing why it is relevant.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This section is optional. You can thank those who either helped with the experiments, or made other important contributions, such as discussing the protocol, commenting on the manuscript.
REFERENCES (LITERATURE CITED)
There are several possible ways to organize this section depending on the Journal.
Hello. I see many good recommendations. As an Editor I may suggest to be very careful when writing, Do not send the ms in a hurry; have it look by your colleagues and friends, leave it for a few days even a week or two and check it once again and you will see errors you did not find before. A manuscript written in a hurry will appear as as sloppy job in the eyes of the reviewer and will likely be rejected even when there are interesting results.

I find it useful to read published papers on similar subject and compare with your own.
You need some time to "sit on it" and re-think. Maybe you make some changes. Ask yourself, would others like to read this? It should be made attractive for others to stop what they are doing and start reading your paper.
http://www.columbia.edu/cu/biology/ug/research/paper.html
Ian, I posted the test because I've made some simplifications and I had simply forgotten the link. I’m very sorry for this. In any case the content was very general and of public domain for who usually write scientific papers.
I've been Assosiate Editor for several years for an Elsevier Journal, so I know at least the topic.
Dear Jecinta,
Thank you for interesting question! Writing a manuscript is a delivery state! it needs lots of efforts and brain training. Although you have the results but this is not enough to convince the reader to read your article fully with pleasure. There are different visions to show the results; tables, figures, videos.. which figure suit my work? statistics that show my good work? However, motivation is another thing that always keep you alert to work. Challenges are good motivations to improve yourself! failure is the most motivator that help to avoid falling in it once more. Hope and encouragement to be good scientist to publish your work in the respect journals that another motivator.
Good luck
Here's a tip. I catch my notes in a .TXT file. This is allowed to have spelling and grammar errors, but not factual errors in it.
Then I put text files into an Open Office Writer .ODT file, and edit it to fix the highlighted spelling errors, and I insert bold and italics, sub- and superscripts, and headings. I also type in the necessary transitions.
Then I put the .ODT files into a Word template, a .DOC file, and check the grammar. I build a temporary index to check the headings.
Finally I export the .DOC file to a .PDF file for colleagues to view and then it is ready for submission.
By looking at the suffix of the files, I have a good idea of how far they are from being ready.

Dear sir:
You have first to know the scope of the selected journal, then if you decide to publish your work in the journal, go to :instructions for authors" and read it carefully and apply the instructions strictly.
Regards
It is also very important before to submit a paper for publication in a given journal, to have a look on the papers already published by it, particularly for their overall scientific quality.
Dear @Ali hadi Ghawi, here is another plagiarism that you have done! The original resource is attached!
I have contributed this resource on April 15, 2016!!!
https://www.elsevier.com/connect/six-things-to-do-before-writing-your-manuscript
Dear Colleagues,
I do not know why some commenters used to plagiarize articles? How much posts and presentation has been posts that indicate such un accepted bad behavior??
Emad
Well you need to follow the journal's format. There are no shortcuts and you need to be prepared for rejection but then you need to be focused and determined and work on the mistakes spotted in your article for further submission.
Thanks and good luck
Everyone has such experience, but you should be determined and try to understand the comments and deal with them in a scientific way. Sure with time (experience), this will be easier to write and publish a rejected manuscript.
Preparing Manuscript begins with Writing Critical Review of Current Literature on Chosen Research Topic. This automatically completes Reference Section. Then, Problem Identification, Introduction, Method, Results, Conclusions and Abstract follow....
I first read the scope of the journal to see if the outline of my paper might fit it. I then read carefully the instructions for authors and some articles that have been published. I then proceed to write the article or rewrite the article according to that journals requirements. I then write a brief letter to the editor commenting on my paper and why I feel it is interesting for their journal. Having done my best, I then leave it in Higher Hands to see if it is accepted. If it is refused, I read my paper again looking at it with fresh eyes to clearly understand the grounds on which it has been rejected (I appreciate when a journal gives me feed back so I can see the article through their eyes) Based on this I then consider how it could be improved , find another journal and start the process over again. It is laborious but I feel each time I understand my topic more and that is important - at least for me. I see rewriting as an opportunity to express myself better as I am still a novice to the field of writing scientific articles. Many of my papers are theoretical and as such, they often conflict with current views, I therefore understand publishing them is not always easy.. Articles based on research seem to be easier to publish.
Warm regards Tina
Perhaps many of us have forgotten to say that to prepare a good manuscript for publication, a great job have be done before.
I am referring to an accurate bibliographic research, to a strong experimental design, to the use of modern analytical techniques, to an accurate statistical analysis and finally the results must improve the knowledge on the subject.
Without all these assumptions, I think it's impossible to write a good manuscript.
Just a small tip to add to all the other advice people have already added. When I think i am finished, I copy and paste my reference list in a new word doc article, Then with the text open I cross check that all the references are in the paper. I colour in each reference that I find both in the text and in the reference doc.. Then I look to see if there are references in the text that have not been coloured in or there are some references that have not been coloured in - i.e. included in the paper. This is a very easy way of checking that your reference list includes the references in the text and vice verse.
When I work with Chicago - I do the same but I also put names and numbers in the text and bI never remove the names of the references in the text until I am sure that all the numbers and references tally. When I am sure that they are correct, I remove the names from the numbers in the text.
This scheme works - at least for me.
Warm regards Tina
Fine, practical tip dear Tina Lindhard . Good tip for future authors.
Dear Ljubomir Jacić
Thank you - it is a pleasure to share - I had so many problems at first, especially with the numbers and Chicago - and doing what I have suggested can save many hours of frustration. It is a little work, but pays off in the long run.
Warm regards Tina
A guess I am somewhat of a goalkeeper: I tend to make sure that the existing literature is covered very well in a survey that I want to be informative - in contrast to most surveys in the papers nowadays, that are just boring and rather useless lists of papers; I tend instead to integrate topics to show the links that exist. Sadly, journal editors have lost interest in such things, as it is more important to cram in yet another paper in each issue.
I am no expert in writing a perfect manuscript for publication but let me just share these tips:
1. In preparing the Abstract, present the motivation of your paper (perhaps the research gaps), your objective/s, a brief description of your methods, and your results. Keep your abstract short yet impactful. Some journals require 250-300 words. It's also good to read the guide for authors of the journal where you wish to submit your paper to.
2. In your introduction, follow these questions: (1) What is the problem? (2) What are the existing solutions? (3) What is the best solution? Here you may also add the disadvantages of this best solution you identified and the research gap; (4) What is your solution?
3. Methodology and Results and discussion should be 1:1.
4. Make sure your units are correct and consistent with the journals guidelines.
5. As to reference management, I use Mendeley. It's free.
You may also ask for help from experts who offer help online like in https://www.excelediting.com.
The best of luck for your future publications.
All suggestions and links shared above are handy. For me the most important part is the *Flow* in writing. So, whenever I define a problem and discuss it I make sure to use a connection between the sentences within a para. And for that matter between different sections also
How to Write and Publish a Scientific Paper
By Robert A. Day, Barbara Gastel
I usually start putting together all results, once statistical analysis is completed, and build from there on.
Look for the journal that fits your manuscript, then follow the guidelines for authors. Prepare the first draft and leave it for a week then read it again and corrected. Give the final draft for someone to read it and provide further comments before submitting.
Though not a expert yet, my own style is to write in this direction Results>Discussion>Conclusion>Method>Introduction> Abstract. Then I a couple of times to get the final draft ready.

It depends on the specific journal requirements you are planning to get published.
1- Choose the journal according to the interest area and impact factor;
2- knowing the requirements of such journal;
3- gather the references used to write your paper;
4- write a short literature review as an introduction;
5- Write the materials and methods if experimental work;
6- If it is theoretical study you have to write such model in equation form;
7- if it is experimental work the test set up has to be written;
8- If it is theoretical work a validation has to be written;
9- put your findings (Results) and justify each one (discussion) using the previous gathered references;
10- derive the conclusions;
11- send your paper to several colleagues to be revised.

all these points are good - particularly being sure you have something clear to say - from your novel idea to robust evidence. try to "tune" it into the focus of the journal, make sure you follow the journal guidelines, provide a technically correct submission (language, structure and format) and suggest independent reviewers. There are much longer lists of tips, many points raised. The editor needs to get the impression the manuscript is good for their journal and reviewers need to find it straightforward to read and understand your contribution. No magic formula just hard work.
Agree with Andrew. Also. Do not write because you need a publication. Write because you really want to let the scientific community know about the results of your work. Follow the instructions. I am Editor in Chief of a journal, and more than 90% of the manuscripts we receive do not follow the instructions. At this point the manuscript may be rejected.
No short cuts are allowed, of course. Explain what needs explaining, and throw the rest away. Motivate, use illustrative examples. Help the reader by writing VERY good English - or else let a native English speaker with a PhD help out. Without a good handle on how to write, you are doomed to only publish in bad journals that takes your money and won't help you at all. That's the business, these days.
Think about why you want to publish your work, and whether it's publishable. Decide what type of paper to write. Choose the target journal. Pay attention to the requirements of the journal in the Guide for Authors. Pay attention to the structure of the paper. Understand publication ethics to avoid violations. You can use software like Grammarly to check for spellings and plagiarism. No matter how good your writing, there will be comments from reviewers. Answer them by properly addressing the concerns.
Dear Emmanuel Ogungbemi , you MUST cite the original resource in your contribution. Otherwise, you do make plagiarism!!!
Here is the link:
https://cikd.ca/2019/09/08/how-to-write-a-scientific-paper-for-publishing/
In answering the question: What motivations keep you going? I always tell my colleagues that each paper you publish is like a little dot that shows up in the radar for the scientific community. The more you write the more people will know about your work. You only complete your research when it is published. Not publishing the results of a study is like having done nothing.
Are there some tools (like MS office) preparing manuscript for publication?
Khuram Siddique If I understand your question well, I think the basic tool you need is your MS Office and Referencing App (for both in-text citation and Referencing). Many of these referencing Apps have MS plug-ins that can be used to cite while you write. But firstly, you need to check which referencing App your proposed journal accepts. I heard that some journals require that you use ENDNOTE. But, personally I prefer MENDELEY especially for its ease of searching for references.
Of note, most of these Apps also have referencing styles for different journals which you can always choose from incase you decide to submit to another journal. I hope this helps. Regards
With math papers you of course would use LaTeX, which is easier to learn that it looks - you can simply borrow a fairly long LaTeX code from someone, study the pattern of the commands, and re-shape it for your own manuscript.

The Importance of Editing and Proofreading before Manuscript Submission
Editing and proofreading are essential parts of the writing process. They help with the effectiveness of your writing style and the clarity of your ideas. Often, students and writers think that they are similar, but there are apparent differences between the two. Editing requires you reread your draft to check for more significant issues, including organization, paragraph structure, and content. However, when you proofread, you are focusing on finding and correcting errors in writing, grammar, and language. To begin with, you can inspect your supervisor’s comments. This will help you recognize what to look for as you start the process...

Academically, tool involve in research are many e.g laptops, research papers in the field your are publishing in
there are no shortcuts to academic research. if you must be a scholar and publish scholarly articles, do not shortcut. journal will REJECT your research paper etc
motivation comes from the passion to be been inquisitive, drive to know the unknown and investigate the authenticity of the known. I love to write academic articles and research, reading, questioning anything, in fact, be curious.
ask for help where can not find answers. have someone like a scholar to guide you (A MENTOR)
ABOVE ALL BE HUMBLE AND POLITE.
To prepare your manuscript for publication, there are some steps you need to be prepared for, and the Following are those steps:
STEP 1: FINDING THE TIME TO THINK

STEP 3: PREPARING A CASE REPORT
STEP 4: SELECTING A JOURNAL FOR SUBMISSION
STEP 5: SUBMITTING YOUR PAPER
STEP 6: DEALING WITH REVIEWS
STEP 7: DEALING WITH A REJECTED MANUSCRIPT
If you can work on these steps, you will have a perfect manuscript ready for publication.
I hope it helps. Happy researching!

To prepare a manuscript for publication, keep in mind the Journal you wish to submit your manuscript. Go to their website and follow Instructions to Authors. You may call it Guidelines to Authors. Spend quality time to understand and digest every available information there. On your laptop, create a Special folder where can save every vital information you may wish to refer to later. You might also want to download some already published articles from the Journal of interest. They will serve as reference materials. If you lucky, some Journals have already prepared manuscript templates that makes your job easier. Its important you check the Article Processing charges of the Journal (APCs) as well. Some APCs could be free, for some there could be a reduction, while for others you pay in full.
*Tools you will need:
-Laptop
-WiFi
-Stable Power supply (quite an issue if you from an African country like Nigeria)
-Endnote for references
-SPSS or any other related Data computation software
-Graphpad for your graph construction
*Shortcuts:
The manuscript preparation phase is a rigorous and painstaking one. You need to be focused, self motivated and show professionalism. You must be ready to also learn and relearn. Its a lot of hard work. So there are no shortcuts.
*Motivation:
The passion to contribute to knowledge. That hunger to unlock hidden secrets..scientific puzzles and seeing that your work is finally published after much hard work is a satisfying experience.
I hope this helps.
