Researchers write to keep records of their work for themselves, but more importantly also for the readers and peer researchers who are expecting a standard form, language, and style when reading research papers. Writing in a scientific style may be hard in the beginning for novices, but clear communication and concise writing have no magic involved. How the paper is written and the way it is published. The process leading to publication is equally important as the content, style, and organization of the published paper.
Once a paper is drafted, written, rewritten, and finished it deserves to be published validly. However, dealing with publishers, their editors, peer reviewer’s comments, deadlines, submission guidelines, and other obstacles on the way to the paper appearing in a printed volume can be one of the most time-consuming and exhaustive tasks in a researcher’s life.
Please share your comments and provide your support for further communication.
What a great question! Thank you.
As a novice researcher (social sciences - maths education), I agree that it seems quite difficult to manage all the steps you have mentioned. Of course I get the help of my supervisor, but it is still harsh.
For a starter, I would say that, in a paper, the literature review is a section that needs a lot of attention, since it defines my perspective and approach, and can validate (or not) the entire research. This section is also the one that, together with the results section, shows the reviewers whether there is a valid contribution in my work (or not).
But I would like to hear what other RG members have to say about your question. This is a promising learning experience, for me!
Dear Chalamalla Srinivas,
Frankly, I can not find words to thank you or to add comment!, I hope you success in your field of knowledge, I agree with you 100%
Dear Akshaya Srikanth Bhagavathula
Your toughness in your field of knowledge and long time duration experience make you easily now how to publish your tough papers, I am sure.
Regards, Emad
Hello there,
A good question indeed, it is refreshing after all to find some glitter in between all the garbage. So thank you for posting this up.
To put it in a nutshell, before writing: delimiting your scientific paper is important, a good paper do not loose focus throughout the entirety of its form and on the structure of the paper. After writing the paper comes the time of reading your paper a few times in order to get everything perfect. Build your own checklist corresponding to your own problems you want to avoid. After this, your article can be submitted and will hopefully be accepted.
Good luck
Regards
