How can beginners write research article in such a way that it gets published in a reputable journal especially the crucial portions like experimental results and hence convincing the readers technically.
If the referee writes that "The presentation of the experimental results
is weak", the referee means that he/she will accept that your results and interpretation are true, but is unimpressed by the way you have conveyed it in writing. The referee is saying that you are not clear. Work with an English First language editor to improve your presentation.
However, if the referee writes that "The representation of the experimental results is weak", the referee means that he/she is not convinced that you have faithfully and honestly interpreted or reported on what happened.
The referee is saying that he/she has no faith in you. So you might have to do more experimentation.
Write to the editor for clarification.
1. Read reputable journals to see their standards.
2. Decide which reputable journals are closest to the your area of research.
3. Make sure that your research has not been done by anybody else. Keep notes.
4. Keep good lab notes on what you are doing. Summarise them monthly.
5. Near the end of your research, ask yourself, “What have I discovered that is new?” and write a report on this, using your monthly summaries as raw material.
6. Polish. Polish Polish.
7. Publish.
Dear Khattak, Dear fully respected Ian Kennedy,
I fully agree with Ian, there is not comment after great answer of Ian.
Regards, Emad
Thank you research is complete. Not being able to present in scientific and right way i am a beginner. Got it rejected and the main concern is the experimental results representation is weak. How can i do it?

Thank you IAN. Can you give some tips for the experimental results portion to make audience believe what you are trying to say.
I'll give you some (having refereed one or two). In light of many meta analysis studied it is not uncommon for biology, medical, educational and social science to include a second referee for any statistical claims based on experiments. Many journals have been embarrassed recently (last 5 years or so) and are making a point of this practice.So, from a mathematician/statistician point of view, be careful with experimental design, interpretation of results, any definitive claims or any blatant misuse. If you are not certain about a technique, or some part of your conclusion, it is better to cut it from the article than to include it erroneously. Just be careful with your stats. Good luck.
Ross has helped me. Basically you have to show that your numbers prove without doubt that your contention is true.
