Dear Jawad

a +b) There are general and specific instructions and guidelines for writing a scientific paper but I think this depends on research question, type of study and the selected journal.

c) Such as:

1. Reading high quality studies of well-known researchers

2. Following the instructions of the selected journal

Note: Scientific writing skills will be developed within a period of time

Please find the attached documents that may help to answer your questions.

Good Luck!

Hello Jawad,

I agree with Mansour that writing improves (or can) with practice e.g. by drafting articles for a range of journals that may be interested in your topic. But also write other things, like different length presentations (5 mins, 15 mins, 30 mins), and read them out aloud, edit as you find issues. If you can find a few folk to act as audience/ informal reviewers, even better.

Some common issues to look out for include:

• trying to fit too much into the word/ time limit (narrow and structure your topic and arguments such that if too much for one paper, you can spread content over two or more without unnecessary repetition)
• poorly explained concepts, hypotheses and choice of methods (don't assume everyone knows what you mean)
• lack of referencing, especially supporting evidence for your concepts, hypotheses and methods (acknowledge where your ideas have come from)
• over-use of jargon and complex language - always explain any technical terminology and keep language simple, especially if you want a wide audience over time
• assuming a 'standard' spell- and grammar-checker will produce a 'clean read' - better to get a knowledgeable person to read for technical content and a copy editor to check your writing before submitting

Have fun with your writing too,

Lorinne

I have published more than 200 popular science articles in science magazines and newspapers and also published 34 articles without learning separately 'how to wright them'.

It is just practice and continuous self analysis which may lead to more perfection.

Not at all more than practice and every time learn new things through practice. Practice makes man perfect …

First of all, you should have proper knowledge of English in order to write cohesively and coherently, in addition, so as to develop your manuscript based on scientific style, you should read quit a lot papers concerning your research area. High quality journal papers are one of the most important resources for learning correct structure of sentences in an article.

Yap, the first step is revisiting the basics: the concept of register, style, and cohesion and coherence; a lot of reading, read quality publications; and finaly ....writing, writing, and writing.
