Technical writing involves publishing research results in journals to advance the field and receive credit. The process begins with experiments, literature review to identify gaps, and developing a manuscript with an introduction, methods, results and discussion. Key questions to consider are whether the research significantly advances knowledge and is interesting to peers. Thoroughly reviewing previous work and selecting the appropriate journal helps get published. References and citations must properly attribute prior work to avoid plagiarism.

2. Overview
● Technical writing - Journal Articles
● To publish the results of ongoing or completed work.
● It is not just about getting recognition.
● Publication is a critical step in the scientific process.

3. Process
Experiments or
Simulation
Results Communicate
Journal
Experts or
Reviewers
Recommandations
Publishing H/S

4. Why publishing in Journals
❖ Others researchers can look and work forward.
❖ Prior journals article will justify your work .
❖ One of the metric used to measure the degree of research.
❖ Credits for your work done.
❖ Conveying important new information.

5. Difficult to Publish ?
Inform the purpose and persuade the reader of
the journal with technical evidences.

6. Beginning
Title - Area of Research + What’s New
Abstract - Give away all the important results (findings) of your work.
Introduction - What exactly is your work, why it is important, Prerequisite required
to understand

7. The development of your manuscript will begin long before you begin to actually
write your first draft.
You should not write just for the sake of publishing or to accumulate citations for
your curriculum vitae. if you do, surviving peer review will be a challenge.
As you plan your research project, think about how your work will be received and
evaluated by your peers.

8. Questions
Is this data collected and analyzed of interest to the wider community?
What has been done in the past?
Does this research significantly advance the state of the field?
To answer these questions, you need a solid understanding of the relevant literature.

9. Literature Search
Your research problem must contribute new and important knowledge to your
field.
A thorough review of the published literature will help you to show reviewers
and readers that you understand what work has been done before, and that
your research adds some new understanding or value to the field.
Finally, a thorough review of the literature will help you select the publication
or conference to which you will submit your work.

10. Research Publications
● Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers IEEE
● Springer
● Elsevier
● Taylor & Francis
● Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)
● Institution of Engineering and Technology IET
● The Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers IETE
● Industry white papers

11. Middle & End
Discussion or Implementation - Straight forward languages is used with flowchart
Try to convey the concepts in small sentence
Experimental Details - Better to represent in Table, Graph, Figure.
Results - Even though we have disclosed the finding in the abstract.
The details of the experimental results can be discussed with future scope.

12. References & Citations
Once you identify a major document that is relevant to your research, check the
references.
They will lead you to the research that laid the basis for your area of study.
Use tools available in platforms such as IEEE Xplore to save searches documents
you have identified.

13. Reading & Keeping Track on Notes
As you search, scan the abstracts and keywords.
There is no need to read through every document.
For each reference you want to include in your bibliography, make note of the
original publication source

14. Ethics
● Who is an Author
Develop a list of authors that includes a description of each person’s contribution to
the project and the writing of the manuscript, then document the reasons for any
additions or deletions of authors along the way
● Proper citation of original work
● Plagiarism
● Redundant Publication
