New work attracts more readers and method of writing counts a lot

Papers should be well written so that can present the facts in a simple to understand manner. I believe the choice of journal also matters as more often than not as researchers will look for articles in subject specific speciality journals and hence a good article may get overlooked in the process

Just Love

You must be to love the working in the research to solve real world/life problems

Simple question but very interesting answers from researchers.

To be original, honest and to work hard continuosly

I think the type of the journal and impact factor as well as whether the work is interesting or not. Good methodology and well prepared work make it attractive.

Good night sir

I Think firstly the area of research conducted, secondly the powerful of manuscript, thirdly if the research is published in high impact well known journal and finally the free of charge availability of research.

To try to going better every day in the new publications

Find the research gap deeply.

Sometimes need extend academic antenna sensitivity to broad field, as instinct. Of course, theoretical base and practice experience is necessary.
