Writing scientific papers

One reason is that firms who want to employ the new technology cannot merely invest in basic research. Cockburn and Henderson (1998) emphasize that it is also important for the firm to be actively connected to the wider scientific community (p. 158). They developed the concept of connectedness, as measured by the extent of collaboration in writing scientific papers across institutional boundaries, and conclude that firms wishing to public sector research must do more than simply invest in in-house basic research they must also actively collaborate with their public sector colleagues. The extent of this collaboration... is positively related to private sector research productivity (p. 180). The process by which firms acquire this new technology is not simple or direct, nor obtained without cost. 

After this big start I tried to understand the underlying theories and recalculated many published equations. My knowledge and experience increased, but I found a lot of numerical and also logical errors in the early QSAR literature. The consequence was to refine old models, to develop new ones, and to write scientific papers. My attempts to publish them were a difficult task. The comments of the reviewers ranged from "much ado about nothing" to "wrong" and it took a lot of patience, insistence, and several rebuttal letters to place them in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry.

The hydrogen ion (H+) represents a very different situation. When hydrogen is released into the soil solution by ionization, it loses its electron. The naked proton (H+) is naturally attracted to the partially negative oxygen of water and its lone pair of electrons (Figure 5.8, equation 2). The result of this interaction is the species H30+, which is called a hydronium ion. This is the true species in the soil solution even though scientific papers and texts will use the simpler H+ when writing equations.

But I never, and I mean never, dream of sitting at my desk, writing a paper, or reading a review critical of my grant application, even though I have those candidate dream stimuli all the time. Why don t they enter into my dreams They are certainly emotionally salient. They concern survival, attack, defence, and all the rest. In other words, a scientific dream theory has to explain why a whole class of emotionally salient experiences cannot be a dream stimulus. Instead of these themes, I dream of related problems, which rarely, if ever, happen. 

This chapter presents guidelines for correct sentence structure and word usage. Other chapters of this book present topics also related to good writing style. Chapter 2 discusses the parts of a scientific paper Chapter 3 presents an overview of the editorial process. Chapters in Part 2 address more specialized rules for usage see, especially, Chapter 9 on grammar, punctuation, and spelling and Chapter 10 on editorial style. 

Research scientists involved in interdisicplinary research in the mission-oriented Federal Agencies must face an additional conflict between the need to write papers and the need at the agency to achieve certain objectives within a fixed time period. Often a complex choice must be made between these two demands on the scientist. On the one hand, it can be argued that the initial phases of a study were at the taxpayer s expense so they must be reported in the archival literature. On the other hand, pressing on to the fundamental goal of an adequate understanding of some process or to the development of some model may in some instances be considered of sufficient importance to override the need for and value of any interim scientific paper(s). It seems clear...

The first record of the medicinal but not antimicrobial use can be found in writings around 750 AD. An early scientific paper by Crede has already been alluded to [4] it involved the use of silver in the treatment of inflammation of the eyes (ophthalmia neonatorum) in new-born infants. In a further paper [8], silver was advocated as an internal antiseptic. During the following years, silver nitrate, citrate, lactate and proteinate have appeared in pharmacopoeias and formularies around the world. A silver nitrate lotion appeared in older editions of the British National Formulary. In the latest issues, however (no. 26, 1993 onwards [9]) only silver sulphadiazine is to be found. The USP XXII [10] lists silver sulphadiazine (used as a cream) and silver nitrate (used as an ophthalmic solution).

In the tutorial, a scientific paper is deconstructed into its components (Introduction, Experimental, Results and Discussion, Conclusions, References and Abstract). Each component is examined and decoded to identify the key elements and features that are typically included. Eor example, when writing an Introduction to a scientific paper, we recommend the students address the following questions (1) What has been done before (2) Why are we doing this experiment (3) What are we going to do (4) How are we going to do it ... 

Transmittal of information between parties is done using either written, verbal, or non-written means with the transmittal of scientific information usually conveyed by either written or verbal means. It is beyond the scope of this section to discuss in detail all the nuances that go into building an effective presentation or writing a scientific paper, but it is important to keep in mind a few points. First, who will be the recipient of the information If the recipient is another modeler then detail is expected, but if it is a non-modeler then great detail is not expected and outcomes are expected instead. Look at the presentation or paper from the recipient s point of view because a recipient that does not under-...
