Writing a Research Paper for a Peer-Reviewed Journal
Publishing an academic or scientific paper in a peer-reviewed journal remains the primary means of disseminating original research. The personal and career rewards are significant, but writing an original research article that will impress a journal editor, withstand the rigours of peer review and ultimately win readers and citations is no easy task. Competition for space in widely read and highly cited journals is fierce, so your manuscript will need to be excellent in every way to earn an editor’s interest and live up to the expectations of expert peer reviewers. The three resources I describe here offer invaluable advice on designing and writing an original research paper that will receive the serious publication attention your work deserves.
There are two main approaches to writing an original research paper for an academic or scientific journal: write the paper and then seek a journal, or choose the journal and then write the paper. Either way, the advice in this post will prove helpful as you tailor your writing to fit a journal’s requirements. It focuses on three essential concerns when preparing a scholarly manuscript that will impress journal editors and peer reviewers and stand an excellent chance of publication.
Designing and implementing an effective structure for your research content is essential when preparing an academic or scientific paper for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. A clear and logical structure can significantly improve the communication of complex information, as this article claims. The discussion also offers helpful tips on achieving the perfect balance in your paper between research content and structural presentation while working to observe journal guidelines with precision and consistency.
Many academic and scientific manuscripts are rejected by journal editors and reviewers due to language and writing problems and many more because the interpretation and discussion of the research are inadequate. This post provides relevant advice for avoiding both problems and also offers practical academic and scientific writing strategies such as drafting the sections of a research paper out of order, constructing tables and figures before writing about methods and results, and much more.
