Periodical papers are much shorter than dissertations, so they need a relatively tight structure. Dissertations may be more than 20,000 words in one hundred pages, but journal papers are between 3,000 and 6,000 words according to field conventions and journal regulations.

Therefore, each chapter of the paper needs to be greatly reduced, and the original content of the paper should be reduced through content selection and rewriting. Remember not to copy and paste. The key here is to choose and rewrite: you need to be very careful, keep the essence of the research and discard unnecessary details.
