How to write a paper
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this essay is to make some self-evident (yet often ignored) remarks about how to write a paper. We argue that the key to writing well is full awareness of the role of papers in the scientific process and full implementation of the principles, derived from this awareness, in the writing process. We also provide some concrete suggestions. Comment: The current essay is a revised and augmented version of our essay “How NOT to write a paper” (written in Spring 1991, revised Winter 1996). Originally, we confined ourselves to general principles and concrete negative comments. Here we overcame our reservation towards positive suggestions; hence the change in the essay’s title. Personal Comment: It is strange that I should write an essay about how to write a paper, because I consider myself quite a bad writer. Still, it seems that nobody else is going to write such an essay, which I feel is in great need in light of the common writing quality in our community. My obsessive use of footnotes is merely one of the bad aspects of my bad writing style.
