Write outstanding papers using a systematic top-down approach
Writing a scientific paper is hard, especially if you want to publish in top journals. It’s even harder if you are a PhD student who is still learning the craft.But don’t worry, this book is here to help! It shows you a straightforward, step-by-step method that makes it easier to turn your hard-earned results into clear and exciting papers, ready for top journals.
Instead of dwelling on technicalities, this guide breaks the process down into manageable chunks. How to choose the message of your paper? How to craft its abstract, sentence by sentence? How to effectively outline the paper, and how to turn the outline into a first draft and then into a finished manuscript? What to do if you get stuck? And finally, how to deal with critical reviews?
Here is what you get:
- A complete step-by-step plan for writing research papers, from choosing which results to include to wrapping up the paper in the Discussion section
- Concrete, actionable, and practical advice, from a paragraph-level template for the Introduction to guidance on preparing plots and figures
- Lots of writing tips, from placing signposts in your text to shortening and straightening your sentences
This book is tailored specifically for Ph.D. students who are aiming to write journal articles based on their research results. However, its insights and guidance can be highly beneficial and recommended to academics at all levels.

About the author
I am a professor of computational science and an experienced academic with more than 100 published papers. My research is interdisciplinary, to say the least: I have studied the social fabric of smartphone users, the genetic structure of ant supercolonies, the connectome of the human brain, networks of public transport, and the molecular biology of the human immune system, to name a few. I am also interested in scientific writing as a craft. So one could say that I have a broad range of interests—or that I just can't choose, but that's exactly how I like it!
