SCIENTIFIC PAPER (Part: Introduction)

Hi all,

today I'll share to you all about the course I got in experimental design. It is about how to write scientific paper correctly so that it can be published in international journal and accredited national journal with high impact factor. In this section, it'll introduce the important role of INTRODUCTION as one & the first part of paper. Okay, then have a nice read...

=========================================================================

Scientific paper is written as the result of research. How to start the research?? Let's check it out:

1. Determine the research topic & join the community (association & list of respective journal)

2. Set the target for publishing research paper

3. Start it now!!!

4. Work, Work, and Work.

Important notes to write down the scientific paper is nearly listed below:

• You need to construct an introduction that put your work in context for your readers and tells them why it is important.
• Your method section must have readers in no doubt what you did and must enable them to reproduce your work if they want to.
• You must present your results so that they can be easily understood and discuss your finding so that readers appreciate the implications of your work.

"Almost all good writing begins with terrible first effort. You need to start somewhere. Start by getting something - anything - down on paper. A friend of mine says that the first draft is the down draft - you just get it down. The second draft is the up draft - you fix it up."

Anne Lamott

Okay, then you have to know the main contents of scientific paper and its brief explanation as below:

• Introduction           : Summarize the context of your study & state the aims clearly
• Methods                : Give enough detail for the study to be repeated
• Result                    : Describe the study sample & use the data analysis to answer the aims
• Tables & Figures  : Clarify the result
• Discussion             : Interpret infinding in context of other literature & describe their potential impact for further research
• Reference              : Cite the most relevant and most recent literature

INTRODUCTION
As mention before, introduction of a paper is analogized like a door that guide the readers to understand what they'll get by reading the paper. Introduction can be one of the hardest parts of a paper to write. Introduction should be short and arresting and tell the readers why you undertook the study. The first paragraph should be a very short summary of current knowledge of your research area. This should lead directly into the second part that summaries what often people have done in this field,  what limitations have been encountered with work to date, and what questions still need to be answered.  This, in turn, will tend to the last paragraph which should clearly state what you did and why.

The picture above is an example of main idea to construct your introduction. In this part, you do not need to review all of literature available although you do need to find it all and read it in the context of writing the entire paper.

Okay, that's all the brief explanation about introduction of a paper. Now, it's your turn to write down the introduction of your recent study. Happy writing All...
