我承诺要写个要点介绍或是收获分享，明天组会要用，也贴这里共享下吧。

伊特别强调写journal paper的重要性，我记住了这样几句话：

You can never be a professional scientist without being a professional writer.

Writing scientific publication is always painful; I enjoy writing some other stuff but not journal papers.

You should use most simple English to give information as clear as possible. It's not about using fancy words and structures to impress the editor or reviewer, but to make it easily
understandable. The less time they spend on the tricky expressions, the easier it could be published.

还有一个短语他用了不下十遍：

No matter you feel like it or not,

No matter how painful you feel to start，

Whether you have new idea or not,

… …

安慰啊，天下人民一般苦 ，不只我们天朝。

一些习惯可能有所帮助：

    1. 设定合理的目标。

    2. 准备一个Everyday book，读paper时摘抄特定语境下好用的表达方式和句子结构，长此积累便于更精准的表达问题。

    3. 在一个特定的，干扰较少的固定时段每天坚持写作，长此以往。。。。。。
         1. Make plan
         2. If you do it every day, the pain of the deadline goes away.

    4. 读一些高质量杂志上，专业人士写的半科普类文章，总结其写作技巧。
        推荐书目

        • RICHARD DAWKINS: The Selfish Gene (1989); The Extended Phenotype (1982); The Blind Watchmaker; (1986) Climbing Mount Improbable (1996); The Ancestor’s Tale (2004)
        • STEPHEN JAY GOULD: I Have Landed (2002)
        • PETER MEDAWAR: Advice to a Young Scientist (1979)
        • LEWIS THOMAS: Late Night Thoughts (1983); The Youngest Science: Notes of a Medicine-Watcher (1983)

    5. 写的时候，一气呵成往下写，不要总是回头去编辑修改，把所有细节都写下来，回头再整体删改，有助于paralle processing和新想法的延伸。

    6. 写初稿时的建议顺序:
      • Results & Discussion together: Result 1& its discussion, Result 2& its discussion…
      • Methods - 覆盖所有结论和讨论中涉及到的数据
      • Introduction – creative writing

    7. 重新组织，理顺逻辑。

      Introduction - Why did you do it?
      Methods - How did you do it?
      Results - What did you find?
      Discussion - What does it mean?

    8. Abstract
      需要短小精干且包含上述4点

    9. 重视instructions for authors，了解所投杂志的具体要求、发稿倾向等。

    10. 删除或尽量避免:
      ABBREVIATIONS
      ADMINISTRATE
      CAN, COULD
      COMMON≠POPULAR
      EQUIPMENTS,
      RESEARCHES, EVIDENCES
      ETC, AND SO ON
      OBSERVED
      OBVIOUSLY
      OUT-OF-DATE TERMS
      RESPECTIVELY
      SIGNIFICANTLY
      THERE IS/ARE/WAS/WERE…
    11. 时态:  
      Your own results – past tense;
      published results - present tense
   12. 数据的陈述要明确、有力

      • “We showed that x can increase z”implies uncertainty. Your findings are real, so say “We showed that x increased z.”
      • Do not use “could” or “can” for data (yours or others).
      • These words fit speculative discussion, where uncertainty does exist.

记住的大概就这些，说起来似乎也没啥特别的，改起来，伤筋动骨啊。
