Summary: | This book is designed to help you write, improve, submit, revise and
publish high quality research publications or reports. Papers are the final
products of your research, possibly relating to experiments or investiga
tions that might have taken several years to complete. Published papers are
crucial for helping you to become an expert in your chosen field, commu
nicate to the world your important contributions to the advancement of
knowledge, get the necessary feedback to improve your research plans and
establish your career. Therefore we cannot emphasize enough the import
ance of learning to write your articles effectively. Remarkably few colleges,
universities, companies and other organizations worldwide take the trouble
to instruct their students, research staff and others in paper writing. They
seem to expect people to assimilate the requisite skills from their mentors
(who themselves often need training). This manual will instruct you how
to go about writing a research paper. To keep it within reasonable bounds,
it does not include much information on how to write in good idiomatic
English (see A.10). There is a wealth of books on this matter, and a quick
search online will lead you to many. This is true not only regarding non
native English speakers, as many native speakers often need help, particu
larly important in developing a personal style, so necessary if papers are to
be less stereotyped in the presentation. |
