This document provides tips for highlighting key findings in a research paper. It recommends beginning important paragraphs in a new section to draw attention. Short sentences and active language should be used to clearly convey critical points. Visual elements like tables, figures and graphs are suggested to emphasize findings and make them easily understandable for readers. The goal is to effectively communicate results so the value of the work is recognized.

Importance
Help your findings to stand out visually on the page by
beginning a new paragraph
Make your sentences shorter than normal
Consider using bullets and headings
Use of tables, figures, graphs, pictures to attract attention
Summary
3. Why this is important?
• Your findings may be extremely important and valid
• If the referees are not able to understand your findings because:
Highlighted explained
clearly
No publish
Hard Work Dust Bin
4. Help your
findings to stand

the page by
beginning a new

Key finding

Readers focus
on beginning

Less chance of
readers to find

If possible,
KFP should be

5. ORIGINAL VERSION
The Journal of Nanoparticle Research is a
monthly peer-reviewed journal that
explores the specific concepts, properties,
phenomena and processes of structures at
the nanoscale. Coverage includes synthesis,
assembly, transport, reactivity, and stability,
and emphasizes realization and application
of systems, structures and devices with
novel functions obtained via precursor
nanoparticles. The Journal fosters the
interdisciplinary dissemination of
knowledge by encouraging synergetic
approaches originating from a wide range
of disciplines, such as Physics, Chemistry,
Biology and Health Care.

6. Present your key findings in a very short sentence
The visual factor is critical to impact of your paper
Similar to a oral presentation
Presenter have something important to say they modify their voice
Uses particular adverbs like interestingly, remarkably, importantly
To attract the attention of audience
Underline the importance of what they are saying
7. ORIGINAL VERSION
The method developed in this work
relies on a sample pre-treatment that
allows a low final dilution, guaranteeing,
on the other hand, a negligible shift of
pH with regard to different specimens to
be tested (±0.15 units from 23 samples
tested); however, the slight shifts of pH
do not alter the response of the test, as
shown by the overlapping of standard
curves obtained by spiking buffers at
different pH with IGF-1
REVISED VERSION
Our method relies on a sample pre-
treatment that only requires a minimum
level of dilution. In addition, it
guarantees, a negligible shift in pH with
regard to the different specimens to be
tested (±0.15 units from 23 samples
tested). Importantly, the slight shifts in
pH do not alter the response of the test.
This is revealed by overlapping of
standard curves obtained by spiking
buffers at different pH with IGF-1
8. Consider using bullets and headings
Should begin with same or infinitive grammatical part
ORIGINAL VERSION
Equation 2 is the main result of our study.
It can be used :
In numerical codes to evaluate the
impact of the presence of anomalies in
the various samples taken
For simple estimates when designing
experiments

11. Use of tables, figures, graphs, pictures to attract attention
It is one of the way to attract attention of reader visually i.e.
graphs tables
It is one of the best methods to project our work in a
simplest way that reader can understand easily

15. Summary
Begin a new paragraph when highlighting some thing important
Use shorter sentences and paragraphs to make your key points
Dynamic language - readers understand easily
Don’t just tell the reader something important - Show them

Sir Francis Darwin,
“In Science the credit goes to the man
who convinces the world, not the man to whom the
idea first occurred”
