• Report on research findings that are Sound (Valid)
• Previously unknown (Novel and original) content
• Add new understanding, observation, proofs
13. PUBLISHINGYOURWORK—PAPERS
What does a paper contain:
Introduce the problem you’re working to solve Put your work in context of what is already known
What is new about your work that was not known before?
What method did you use to arrive at your results? How did you make sure your data is good/calculation is
correct?
Your results, interpretation and conclusions that you draw.
What further work do you think is necessary to solve the problem (or did you solve all of it? )

27. What is hypothesis testing?
A hypothesis is an educated guess about something in the world
around you. It should be testable, either by experiment or
observation. For example:
1. A new medicine you think might work.
2. A way of teaching you think might be better.
3. A possible location of new species.
If you are going to propose a hypothesis, it’s customary to write a
statement. Your statement will look like this: “If I…(do this to
an independent variable)….then (this will happen to the dependent
variable).”

Results
64. Specific immunotherapy (SIT) is associated with increased allergen-specific IgGs which have varying affinity
between patients and block binding of Fel d 1 to IgE with variable potency. a Fel d 1-specific IgG titers were
measured as a percentage of total IgG in cat-allergic Non-SIT (n = 5) and Cat-SIT (n = 14) patient sera by
ELISA. Mean (line) and individual patient data representing the average of duplicate wells (dots) are shown.
Statistical analysis was assessed by Mann–Whitney two-tailed test. b Individual patient data for samples used

It is your ethical duty to put your work in the proper context
of the science in the field
You must be sure to give proper attribution to any ideas or
results that you use
Some journals limit the number of references, especially
for letters; “and references therein” is a good trick here

Highlight as you read !! (annotation)
72. Good readers know that it is nearly impossible to comprehend and
retain larger amounts of text without staying very active in the
reading process.
Whether reading paper-based text or digital text, one of the most
effective ways to read actively is through annotation, which means
marking and taking notes in a text in some way.
What is annotation?
73. Annotation
An annotation is a note, comment, or concise statement of
the key ideas in a text or a portion of a text and is commonly
used in reading instruction and in research. When
conducting research, the process of annotation is almost
essential to retaining the knowledge necessary to
understand a text's key points and features and can be
achieved through a number of means.
74. There are two simple and important reasons that good readers
annotate text:
1. Annotating helps readers comprehend and process text in the
moment.
2. Annotating helps readers retain and remember
information later.
Why should I annotate?
75. Why should I annotate?
to indicate the author's most
important points
to indicate supporting points
like examples, reasons,
statistics, etc.
to draw connections
between ideas
to mark important definitions
and terminology
to indicate steps in a process
to help review and remember
info when preparing for class
discussions & tests

79. WHENISSOMETHINGACCEPTEDBYTHECOMMUNITY?
ArXiv is only the first step, someone has to verify that your work looks sensible
Like a WhatsApp forward is not necessarily true, everything in a preprint may not be correct.
Questions that can be asked:
Does the method used look sensible, have all possible sources of error been addressed?
Is there enough information to reproduce the calculation?
Is there any glaring contradiction with previous work?
Are there missing citations or previous work that has not been considered?

There is no form of prose more difficult
to understand and more tedious to read
than the average scientific paper.
Francis Crick
96. Principles of Effective Writing
Before you start writing, ask: “What am I trying to say?”
When you finish writing, ask: “Have I said it?”
97.
98.
99. Top-down vs bottom-up approach
Writing is not a basic skill, that you learn in high school or even for that matter in later years
Embarrassing for professionals or an individual to learn at a later stage in life
Rule-based writing (for eg. Standard formats-memo); not for value-based writing for readers
Expertise in a subject about which you are writing; not expert at writing (Note the difference!)
Level of sophistication increases from student-level to faculty-level
Thinking about stuff not thought before – thinking about the world in different ways and start
writing about it.
Writing process to help oneself think. i.e. Thinking at a level of complexity > Needs writing >
to do the thinking (Using writing to help yourself think- notes, outlines, etc.)
Unlike Journalist: not using the writing process to think up new ideas about the world
Unlike High-school: thinking before writing (outline of paper) and writing after completion of
thought-process (completed paper).
The Craft of Writing Effectively
102. Language
Concise, clear, formal and active, it does not need to be complex/use
long sentences and obscure vocabulary.
•Only include one main idea per sentence.
•Keep your sentences to a reasonable length (generally not more than
25 words). Long sentences can be difficult to follow and this may
distract from your point.
•Avoid repetition.
103. Convey your opinion
Research, ideas and arguments should always be open to being
challenged, so it is important that the language you use acknowledges
this.
• Hedges
When writing, be careful of using words such as "definitely" or "proves“
“This suggests...”
“It is possible that...”
“A possible explanation...”
“Usually...”
“Sometimes...”
“Somewhat...”
104. Read the following two sentences:
“Research proves that drinking a large volume of fizzy drinks containing
sugar leads to the development of type II diabetes.”
“Research suggests that high consumption of fizzy drinks containing
sugar may contribute to the development of type II diabetes.”
In sentence 1, the statement is presented as proven fact: that a high volume of sugary
fizzy drinks will definitely lead to type II diabetes. This leaves no room for doubt or
criticism or the fact that some people may drink large volumes of fizzy drinks and never
develop type II diabetes.
In sentence 2, the writer has used 'hedging language' – 'suggests' and 'may contribute'
– to show that while there is evidence to link sugary drinks and type II diabetes, this
may not be true for every person and may be proven to be incorrect in the future.

I received another disappointing un-fundable score for my
@NIH grant today. I am privileged, and I realize no-one wants
to hear me complain. Just sharing to make the point that
everyone experiences this kind of feedback, and that it never
stops from stinging! 1/3
The most frustrating part is the feeling that you addressed all the
concerns and yet the score remains the same. Will have to wait for
the written comments... But I can only imagine that this is much
tougher to take for young investigators. 2/3
But there is hope! My first grant after cloning PIEZOs was triaged.
But @NIH did ultimately fund the work that showed PIEZO2 is the
principal mechanosensor for touch and proprioception. Message:
stay positive, don't doubt yourself, and keep trying. 3/3

Discovering a Preliminary Thesis
1. Topic: Environmental issue connected to global warming
2. Focused Topic: coal fires
3. Thesis Question: How prevalent are coal fires? In what ways do coal
fires contribute to global warming? What proof is there that coal fires in
fact contribute to global warming?
4. Thesis Statement: “Raging in mines from Pennsylvania to China, coal
fires threaten towns, poison air and water, and add to global warming
(Hacker, 2007, p. 10).”

Discovering a Preliminary Thesis
1. Topic: Technology and consumerism
2. Focused Topic: the way television impacted consumerism within the nuclear family from
the mid 50’s to the early 60’s
3. Thesis Question: How did television target nuclear families and promote specific
consumer habits and values?
4. Thesis Statement: Television programs and advertisements during the 1950’s promoted
consumer habits that promised to support domestic happiness within the nuclear family.

Thesis Statement Examples
“ Although companies often have legitimate concerns that lead them to monitor employees’ Internet usage—from
expensive security breaches to reduced productivity—the benefits of electronic surveillance are outweighed by its
costs to employees’ privacy and autonomy” (Hacker, 2007, p. 12).
“Much maligned and the subject of unwarranted fears, most bats are harmless and highly beneficial” (Hacker,
2007, p.10).
“ Understanding the limitations of medical treatments for children highlights the complexity of the childhood
obesity problem in the United States and underscores the need for physicians, advocacy groups, and policymakers to
search for other solutions” (Hacker, 2007, p. 453).
“Raging in mines from Pennsylvania to China, coal fires threaten towns, poison air and water, and add to global
warming” (Hacker, 2007, p. 10).

Integrating Sources
Use a variety of lead-ins to introduce concepts or findings from
researchers:
1. According to Smith (2001), the presence of a television set in the
home even changed eating habits; frozen TV dinners, TV trays,
and TV tables altered the physical and social contexts of family
meals.
2. By the early 1960’s, “90 percent of all households had at least one
television set” (Bishop & Marx, 2006, p. 2).
3. Television programs and commercials reinforced rigid gender
roles and promised consumers material wealth if they could fit
the roles. One social critic from the era remarked that “television
certainly nurtured both consumerism and conformity” (Cole,
1966, p. 24).
