Writing Your First Research Paper

Time to Print: Using the “date submitted” and a “date accepted” that are published on the article, along with the date of the issue, you can estimate the length of the review process as well as the time from acceptance to publication in print.

Charges: Some journals bill the author for page charges, a cost per final printed page.

In so doing, the group may wish to make use of existing guidelines; see our essay on “Components of a Research Article.” A list of authors will ensure that all individuals to be involved in the project understand at the outset whether or not they can expect to be an author and, if so, what their contribution is to be.

It should be viewed as a tentative list, as the final version should reflect actual contributions to the work.

This webinar will take you from the opening lines of your paper all the way to the problem statement, showing you how to construct an Introduction section that will clarify your paper’s objectives and set the foundation for the sections that follow.

This online lecture includes: on the Wordvice website.

Reevaluate it based on the contributions that were made to those experiments and the additional contributions that will be made through the preparation of the manuscript.

If a list already exists, make adjustments to ensure compliance with your guidelines. There are three basic formats for peer-reviewed research articles: •: These articles contain a comprehensive investigation of the subject matter and are viewed as the standard format.

If you wait until you are done in the lab, have dismantled the equipment, and possibly moved on to another position, you will not have the opportunity to test these ideas. Simply collecting a given amount of data is not adequate. (See our Components of a Research Article on the preparation of these two items.) *5. When you have now determined which experiments will be included in this paper you must select the authors and the order in which they will appear.

If you have followed our advice to this point, you already have such a list.
