Listen "What should you not write in a journal?"

Episode Synopsis

Because I edit a journal and also review articles frequently, I get to see (and read) a significant number of articles. Unfortuitously, I am also witnessing a lot of blunders that are repeated again and over again, and this occurs with authors who have years of experience writing as well as others who are just starting out.This essay is intended for you if you are in the early stages of your research career and are looking for some advice on how to produce an article that has a better chance of being published. This post may serve as a helpful reminder of what you should do and may provide tips on what to improve in your writing if you are in the middle of your career yet sometimes discover that reviewers comment on the style of writing that you use.The following are some of the most frequent errors made by authors while they are preparing a paper for a journal:1. WRITING AN ABSTRACT THAT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE AN ABSTRACT (STYLISTICALLY NOT BEING AN ABSTRACT)An abstract must adhere to a set of guidelines. An abstract is not only a condensed account of the work that was done. An abstract does not provide a summary of the work's context. Every abstract ought to have the following five components: a statement of the problem, a purpose for the study, a strategy or techniques, results, and conclusions. When I read abstracts, it is very common for there to be a sentence missing from the end. If your abstract does not address the questions and concerns listed below: "What are the repercussions of your response, if any? Is it going to change the world (which is highly unlikely), will it be a significant "win," will it be a nice hack, or will it simply serve as a road sign indicating that this path is a waste of time (all of the previous results are useful)? ", then it does not properly follow the format of an abstract because it does not contain any conclusions.
