title: How to write a research paper.
abstract: This paper contains practical suggestions for developing finished research in science and health fields into publishable manuscripts. Although the classic outline of introduction, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion is used, it is shown how a different order of composition is more effective. Each section is discussed from the perspective of the potential reader and basic questions are posed so that an effective paper would result from answering these questions. Suggestions are also offered for preparing tables and figures, handling references, and doing rewrites.
