How to Write a Paper in a Weekend (By Prof. Pete Carr)

Key points:  written by a viewer of this video

1. don’t procrastinate; 

2. review the notes and renew the literature search;

3. determine who your audience is – most likely reviewers, so get their concerns firstly addressed; 

4. create the outline and get the big picture done, i.e., complete the first draft while resisting the temptation to correct and edit as you go; the logical sequence of data/tables/figures may be the outline; while writing the first draft, take notes indicating what references might be needed and would be about, but don’t stop to collect the references; 

5. begin with the easier part of the task – experimental section rather then the introduction; then follows the results and discussion section; 

6. then comes the really hard part – critical editing where you make sure that the English is coherent and the science is correct;

7. write the conclusion in a numbered format; 

8. then comes the abstract and the acknowledgements; 

9. now comes the introduction, the two most important things to address in which are the purpose and relevant background; 

10. then collect the references.
