How to write a paper?

Leave a Comment

This is a collection of some documents about how-to-write-a-paper.  Just google it an you will find much more. The important thing is, that you have to find your definition of what science is and how communication between scientists should work. It has to be your own definition, which makes writing much easier.

What you should do is to read some of the content behind the provided links to see the very different interpretations of scientific communication.

One thing that worked for me is the advice in source one. Grab a coffee or beer and start to think about the structure and ideas of the paper by writing down everything on a A3 page in landscape alignment.

The 99U Website is very inspiring. I watched the talk from Teresa Amabile Track Your Small Wins to Motivate Big Accomplishments about creativity and how to improve work. I wanted to read her book The Progress Principle and so one of my XMas presents in 2013 was her book. I could not let go reading it because it reminded me about my feelings and my every day events at work. Because it is of great value for me, I want all of you to read her book.

  • It helps to define good and bad leadership
  • It helps to become aware of good and bad events
  • It helps to better distinguish good and bad behavior
  • It helps to improve your (inner) work life and your skills
  • It helps to define yourself

She describes very profound the properties of a good and a bad work environment and the events, which boost your inner work life to the bright or the dark side.

For all of you, which are more comfortable watching videos, here is a awesome talk from Simon Sinek: Leadership Is Not a Rank, It’s a Decision. His talk is strongly related to the Progress Principle book Teresa wrote but from another perspective.

I hope you watch the videos and start to get curious about your work environment and your place in the food chain ;-)
