How to Develop Scientific Paper

Abstract: Abstracts are brief (one paragraph) summary of the entire paper. Abstract should briefly explain the question posed in the paper, the method used to answer this question the results obtained, and conclusions. It should be possible to determine the main points of paper by reading the abstract. Although located at the beginning of writing, is the easiest to write the abstract after the paper was completed.
Introduction: Introduction should
1.    describe the questions are tested by experiments described in the paper,
2.    explain why this is interesting or important question,
3.    explain approach used in sufficient detail that a reader who is not familiar with this technique will understand what they do and why, and 
4.    very briefly mention the conclusions of the paper.
Material and Method: Materials and Methods section should briefly describe what actually performed. This should include a description of the techniques used so that one can find what the experiment actually performed. Details of the protocol does not need to be published reproduced in the text but appropriate references must be cited - for example, shows only. Any change from the published protocol must described. It is not appropriate to indicate the volume of solution added - not shown relevant information about the trial as the final concentration used.
Results: Begin each paragraph with an opening sentence that tells readers what is meant is being tested in the experiments described in the verse. Write the opening sentence in bold font for emphasis. Each. results that include multiple data points are very important for the reader to evaluate the experiment should be shown in the table or figure. However, the results should be summarized in accompanying text. When referring to a particular table or figure, they should be capitalized text of the Results section should be brief but should provide the reader with a summary of the results of each table or picture. Not all the results deserve a separate table or figure. As a rule of thumb, if there are only a few Simple numerical results illustrate the results or conclusions in the text rather than in a table or search. Your paper should focus on what works, not something that is not working
Tables and Figures: All tables and figures should be put into a contextual framework within according to the text. A table of strains used must be mentioned in the Materials and Methods section, a table of results should be summarized in the Results section, the figures show biosynthetic pathway should be described in the Discussion section, etc. Tables and figures should present information in a format that is easily evaluated by the reader. A good rule thumb is that it should be possible to figure out the meaning of a Table or Picture without refers to the text. Tables and figures usually have to summarize the results, no major amount of raw data. Whenever possible, the results should provide some means to evaluate reproducibility or statistical significance of each number are presented. Tables and images can be printed on a separate page following the References section. Alternatively, tables and images can be integrated into the paper if you use a page
layout program. However, if they are integrated into the paper to make sure that no pages break in the middle of the table or figure. Do not wrap text around the outside tables and figures
- If the result is quite important to show as a table or figure they have to stand on pages, will not be buried in the text.
Discussion: Do not just restate the results - to explain the conclusions and interpretations the Results section. How do your results compared with the expected results? What further predictions can be seen from the results?
Quote: It is important to credit the paper published the work mentioned in your manuscript. There are different ways to cite references in the text - the style used depends on the Policy journals. In text citations should refer to the reference list. Do not rewrite the headline references in the text.
List of references: As a quote, a variety of reference formats used by different journals. To examples of commonly used examples, see "Instructions for the authors' Web site Format: certain general rules are usually followed in scientific writing. Currents. Readers interpret prose more easily as it flows smoothly, from the rationale the conclusion. Do not force the reader to figure out your logic - clearly stated rationale. In addition, much easier on the reader if you explicitly declare the logic behind each transition from one idea to another. Abbreviations. Use standard abbreviations instead of writing full words. Some common abbreviations that do not require the definition shown on the attached table.
Define all other abbreviations the first time they are used, then use the abbreviation. As a general rule, do not use abbreviations unless the term is
used at least three times in the script. With two exceptions, the space should be left between numbers and units attached to them. In general, abbreviations should not be written in the plural. Past, present, and future tense. The results described in the paper you have described in past tense Results of published papers have described in the present experiment only do you do in the future should described in the context of the future. In addition, inanimate objects must be described in the third person, not anthropomorphic terms or phrases Empty possessive. Avoid using phrases that do not contribute to the understand
Proofreading: Always spell check your paper and carefully proofread your paper before shipping. In addition to checking for errors and typos, read your paper for yourself as if you being read aloud to ensure that the words and sentence construction is awkward.
