1 Select the magazine you want to publish before preparing your
research article And it should be as close as possible to your
research field, Make sure it's accepted by your university, know
its impact factors, and make sure it's on Elsevier's magazine lists,
Scopus , Or Springer, for example, and make sure it's a non-fake
magazine.
2 -Enter the magazine's website or page with previous publishing
institutions to see the terms of publication and abide by them.
3 -Read at least 3 previous published researches to track in your
research the same structure that you found in these articles, i.e.
its elements such as extract and introduction.
4 -Express your ideas in a clear and accurate way and come to a
sound scientific conclusion.
5- Discuss your research paper with your fellow specialists.
3. 6 -Draw a blueprint or structural structure of the paper in
advance that includes its sections and under each section put the
titles of the thought formedforit exactly as the architect prepares
a plan before starting the construction of a building , You should
also specify the structure of the paper by dividing it into
interconnected logical sections if the magazine's target articles
IMRaD follows an introduction, methodology, results, discussion,
Your task will be easier even though you'll need to include
subheadings, as required under the four main titles:
Introduction, tools, methodology, results and discussion, if the
magazine does not have a specific format you will need to think
about appropriate headlines and arrange them in the correct
sequence, this work does not require continuous periods of time,
and you can prepare and review broad lines within short periods
of time,and it helps to show the proposedplan to your colleagues
and review it if necessary because what is clear to you
It may not be the case for them.
4. -Think about the sections and paragraphs individually and not in
the full paper what you see in front of you when you start is a
blank screen while what you see in the eye of your mind is a final
product.
-A well written paper that is accurately consistent and free from
linguistic errors and punctuation errors.
-The difference between the two cases is wide so imagine a
whole paper that might freeze you and push you to fail to work
what is the solution???
7-Don't think about the final results as a whole , And don't wait
until your researchis complete type while youcontinue your work
in the laboratory or fieldwork youcanstart writing the section on
tools andmethodology forexample while the details are still alive
in your mind and you can even create fake tables complete with
columns and rows heads all you have to do is connect the values
to the appropriate cells when your results appear.
5. 8 -Discuss your research ideas before you start writing that
talking about your work before writing will make you a manager
of the task , You will find that words come easily to you if you
explain your work to others with the order of your ideas in words
youwill find that youare able to tab and write a paper easily such
discussions withreliable collaborators or colleagues will also alert
you to any gaps that your work may contain
