Abstract

You’ve completed a series of experiments and have collected enough data to write up your findings in a scientific article which you will submit to a peer-reviewed journal in your field. At this point in your career you have already read dozens of scientific papers and are familiar with the format. Following this format and tailoring it to your own work is easy if you keep the following points in mind as you write.

The scientist is not a person who gives the right answers, (s)he’s one who asks the right questions.

– Claude Lévi-Strauss
