[交流] 有关科研写作：Chap1.Planning and Preparation 已有1人参与

To write a well-structured paper in good clear English you need to have a method.
If you don’t have a good method you may waste a lot of time having to re-plan and re-write entire sections of your paper.
This chapter outlines some steps to follow and things to think about before you begin the writing process.
Reading this chapter should enable you to have clear preliminary ideas regarding:
?6?1 what journals are looking for (also in terms of English)
?6?1 standard phrases used in English in research
?6?1 how a typical paper is structured in your field
?6?1 what makes your research unique
?6?1 what referees’ expectations may be
All these factors combined should then help you to communicate the results of your research in good clear English.

1.Consult with your professor and colleagues about the most appropriate journal where you can publish your research

2.Match your topic to the journal, or vice versa

3.Download the guidelines for authors – these will tell you about the style and structure of your paper

4.Choose frequently cited papers in the journal to see how other authors construct their argumentation, and note down ways in which your research is different and innovative with respect to theirs

5.Choose one paper as a model onto which to map your research, imitating the style and organization. This model should be written by a native English speaker

6.Note down useful / standard phrases from your model paper which you can then use in your own paper

7.Decide on the best order to write the various sections of your paper. It is generally best to start with a very rough draft of the Abstract, and then whichever section is clearest in your head (generally the Materials and Methods)

8.Consider having separate documents for each section. This enables you to work on several sections at the same time

9.Make sure your unique contribution to your community is very clear in every section, not just in the Abstract

10.Write in a way that even a non-expert can understand

11.Referees work for free and often outside working hours – never submit a carelessly written manuscript

12.Access referees report forms to understand the ways that referees will evaluate your work

13.Write directly in English, and use every opportunity for improving your writing skills

14.Use online resources
