How to do scientific writing

You should understand the:

• Importance of excellent scientific writing for publication of your manuscript.
• What the reader expects from you as an author and a writer.
• What the journal expect from you
• That CLEAR, LOGICAL, ENJOYABLE writing is the best type of writing.
• CLARITY明晰 in your writing should be your number one priority.

1. Remember that sentences are the building blocks of your manuscript!

• Don't waste your sentences ( By using "empty words"/Repetition/adverbs like 'very' or 'really')
• Use VERBS as much as you can (don't use nouns). Verbs make our writing EXCITING, DIRECT and CLEAR!.
• Use the ACTIVE VOICE not the passive voice.
• Don't use Negatives in your sentence, like no, don't, impossible (it makes your meaning confusing).
• Parallelism is a good technique if you want your writing to be easy to understand and sound nice.
• Try to use different types of punctuation (Its OK!). Use :,;,(), -.

Make sure your paragraphs are clear by:

• One idea per paragraph
• Use the sentence rules
• Ideas flow logically
• Choose the correct sentence subjects according to the paragraph topic
• Introduce new information correctly by first writing the old information.
