writing?}\label{what-does-it-take-to-master-article-writing}

Writing and publishing research articles requires strategy and
discipline. But there's more to it than that. We've gathered some of our
favorite resources for effective article writing. Here are the key
points:~

Rule 1: Create regular time blocks for writing as appointments in your
calendar and keep these appointments.

Rule 2: Create a detailed outline and discuss it with your mentor and
peers.

Rule 3: Be meticulous and accurate in describing the Materials and
Methods. Do not change the point of view within one paragraph.

Rule 4: Be clear, concise, and objective in describing your Results.

Rule 5: Interest your reader in the Introduction section by signalling
all its elements and stating the novelty of the work.

Rule 6: Present the principles, relationships, and generalizations in a
concise and convincing tone.

Rule 7: Revise your paper at the macrostructure and the microstructure
level using different strategies and techniques. Receive feedback and
revise again.

The Five Commandments of Writing Research Papers:

1. Thou shalt do some background reading, think hard, and speak with the
professor in order to identify a topic.

2. Thou shalt have a clear research question.

3. Thou shalt do real research.

4. Thou shalt make an argument.

5. Thou shalt write well.
