Core Philosophy

Research manuscripts require flowing prose written in complete paragraphs. Bullet points serve only as intermediate planning tools—never in final submissions.

Two-Stage Writing Process

  1. •Outline phase: Create section-by-section bullet points capturing key arguments
  2. •Prose phase: Transform outlines into cohesive paragraphs with proper transitions

Manuscript Structure

Standard IMRAD Format

  • •Introduction: Context, gap, and objectives
  • •Methods: Reproducible procedures and analyses
  • •Results: Findings presented objectively
  • •Discussion: Interpretation, limitations, and implications

Supporting Elements

  • •Abstract (structured or unstructured per venue requirements)
  • •Graphical abstract for visual summary
  • •Keywords following journal guidelines
  • •Author contributions statement

Citation Styles

Support for major formats:

  • •AMA/Vancouver: Numbered, common in medicine
  • •APA: Author-date, social sciences standard
  • •Chicago: Footnotes or author-date variants
  • •IEEE: Numbered, engineering standard
  • •Harvard: Author-date variant

Visual Components

Research papers benefit from:

  • •Graphical abstract summarizing the work visually
  • •Data visualization figures (1-2 minimum)
  • •Conceptual diagrams explaining methodology
  • •Tables for structured comparisons

Reporting Standards Compliance

Apply appropriate guidelines:

  • •CONSORT: Randomized trials
  • •STROBE: Observational studies
  • •PRISMA: Systematic reviews
  • •ARRIVE: Animal research
  • •CARE: Case reports

Writing Quality Checklist

  • • Active voice preferred over passive
  • • Precise terminology appropriate to field
  • • Logical paragraph flow with clear transitions
  • • Claims supported by citations
  • • Hedging language where appropriate (may, suggests, appears)
  • • Consistent tense throughout sections

Field Adaptation

Adjust tone and terminology based on discipline:

  • •Clinical: Precise medical terminology, patient-centered framing
  • •Engineering: Technical specifications, quantitative emphasis
  • •Social sciences: Theoretical grounding, qualitative nuance
  • •Natural sciences: Mechanistic explanations, experimental rigor

Integration

Works with:

  • •reference-management for citation formatting
  • •lit-review for background research
  • •manuscript-review for self-assessment before submission
