How to write a scientific paper
Here are some tips for writing research papers:
A paper is a piece of argumentation
- A research paper (or a thesis) is an argumentation. Do not forget
- the problem you address (typically expressed as a research question)
- the definition of your model, including its key properties
- the evaluation of the key properties of the model, through systematic evaluation and benchmark
- discussion of contributions, scope, limitation AND open questions brought by your experimentations
A paper is written to be read
- Take care to make your point cristal clear for your readers
- The title must name your contribution
- The abstract must summarize contributions, scope and originality
- The outline must be sufficient to understand the point of your paper
- For each figure
- Make a readable Figure, with legend
- Describe the figure in the main text, so as to make the point clear even without the graphics
- Express the factual conclusions you draw from your results
- And then discuss the impact these results have on the validation of your model.
