Common problems in academic paper writing;

Replace the preface with an abstract.

There are hundreds of words, which are full of various experimental methods and data. Some authors especially like to list numbers, which makes people dizzy. But in the preface of the text, it is as precious as gold, and dozens of words will do it. This preface is more like the background part of the abstract.

Most journals require abstracts to be limited to 250 words, and the author must clarify the background, main content and significance of the article with the most concise sentences. The preface should review the research background and put forward questions or assumptions. Many China writers don't understand this point, but simply explain the research purpose, ignoring the research background and problems.

2. The group name is obscure.

The experimental animals were divided into several groups according to the treatment methods. The author named them Group A, Group B, Group C, Group A+B, Group B+C and Group A+C. Readers need to remember the meaning of these codes in order to understand the different treatment methods of each group. In the middle of reading, they accidentally forgot and had to watch it again in front. In fact, it is simple and clear to name it directly with the processing method.

3.？ The reagent instrument is divided into several parts.

Many authors like to write a separate paragraph about the reagents and instruments used, which is not wrong, but it is not popular. In general, the manufacturer and origin information of reagents and instruments are introduced in brackets.

4. Misuse abbreviations without introduction.

Some authors seem to be proud of using abbreviations to show the high level of their articles. Moreover, the abbreviation is used, and the full name is not introduced, so that readers can guess. In fact, the use of abbreviations should be minimized. In particular, don't create new abbreviations unless it is really necessary.

5. As a result, it was partially irrigated.

Some authors who have just entered the hall of science have finally achieved some results, and almost wrote the results of the article into the experimental records, including cell culture photos, plasmid enzyme digestion electrophoresis, and even fixed animal racks. In fact, these "results" are not experimental data, but only intermediate processes.

6. The discussion is empty.

The common problem of many authors in the discussion part is to repeat the preface or the result. I just won't discuss it with you anyway. In the discussion part, we should compare the results of the research with those of others, find out the similarities and differences and discuss them.

7. Like to quote China literature.

It is best to quote articles from authoritative high-scoring magazines or magazines that you have voted for, and it is best not to quote Chinese documents, because Chinese documents often fail to pass the reference check. If you must quote China literature, you need to indicate it at the back of the literature.
