Study Notes
How to Write and Read Scientific Articles
- Manuscript can be rejected if the peer reviewer doubts the experiments could be repeated
- Methods must be organized under subheadings with related methods described together
- Experimental design should be described in detail, in past tense
- Materials section must accurately identify experimental subjects and chemicals used
- Methods section should be clear, precise, and concise for repeatability, with new methods providing all details
- Results section should summarize findings in an orderly and logical sequence, without interpretation
- Data can be presented directly in the text, in a table, or in a figure, with each accompanied by a textual presentation of key findings
- Tables are appropriate for large or complicated data sets, while figures are suitable for conveying trends, patterns, or relationships visually
- Discussion section's primary purpose is to show relationships among observed facts and end with a summary or conclusion regarding the work's significance
- Acknowledgments should show the reason for acknowledging individuals and how they helped, without using the word "wish"
- Beware of originality and copyrights of others, do not copy without giving credit, and obtain permissions when necessary
- Academic articles are written by experts to share research information and make opinions, and should be read critically, starting with the abstract and conclusion
