FOREWORD
But in science the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not to the man to whom the idea first occurs.
Sir Francis Darwin

WHAT IS A GOOD SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE?
Communication Novelty

FOCUS
Too much information kills information
10 results 1 result
![Page 6: Scientific Writing for Impact Factor Journals](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081718/54622d47b4af9f581c8b4647/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
DISTILLATION
Before writing ‘distillate’ your results to keep only 2-3 trends that show an advance versus existing knowledge.

MICRO-ARTICLE Select your best result from your too many results using the micro-article.
‘Micro-article: great layout. Great to focus thinking, clarify goods of article and work for improved impact’ PhD student

NOVELTY How to select the new result? Think of: • Initial hypothesis • Hypothesis reformulation • Lab seminar • Meeting poster, oral • Scientists outside your field • Coffee breaks and friends

UNEXPECTED The novelty is probably not what you planned. Be prepared for ‘anomalous’ and unexpected results. Be curious.

CONTRAST Design general and scientific issues (the problem) fitted to the findings: the solution

TEXT
The mind memorizes better titles and first/last sentences. Write them wisely.

CLEAR If you can’t explain something simply, you don’t understand it well. Albert Einstein
• Do not make science ‘secret’ • Do not use complicated words to look ‘serious’ • Editors hate abbreviations
