Scientific journals today:
 10,000 to 20,000 peer-reviewed scientific journals published
 Most are online with print, but growing number are online only
What is scientific writing?




Reporting original research in journals
 Journal articles, papers, Letters
Broader communication
 Review articles
Professional communication
 Grant proposal, technical reports
 Oral and poster presentations
Key for success
 Clarity of writing


To communicate new scientific findings writing
should be as clear and simple as possible
Effective organisation, e.g. of ideas, results,
conclusions
Definition of a scientific paper
 It is a written and published report
describing original research results





Article must be written in English
Original work
Not previously published
Not under consideration for publication in
any other journal
Scientific quality not quantity of papers
 Do not ‘salami slice’ results
Why publish?
 Getting papers published is a major way
to make an impact in your field of
research
 Publications play an important role in
career advancement and securing
funding
 Journals are a key part of scientific
communication
 For graduate students, to get your degree
Helpful tips for writing your paper I

Do the preparation:
 Choose a journal – the earlier the better
 Read the ‘Instructions for authors’
 Look at recent issues

Start writing
 Block out time

Use a good title for the article:
 Accurate, brief, specific description of the research
 The title is the most widely read part of the article
 Will be used by A&I services

List the authors and addresses
 Who are the authors?
 What order to list them?
Helpful tips for writing your paper II

Take care with the abstract
 A miniature version of the paper
 State:





Principal objectives and scope
Describe the methods used
Summarise results
State main conclusions
The need for a good introduction
 Describe the nature and scope of the research carried
out
 Provide a brief review of previously published work in
the area
 State the methods used
 State main results

 Often the most difficult to write





Provide an adequate discussion of the significance of the results
Show how your results and interpretations compare and or
contrast with previously published work
Discuss the theoretical implications of your work as well as any
practical applications
State your conclusions as clearly as possible

colleagues, by a native English
speaker, by scientists in
related fields
 Make necessary revisions
Use figures and tables
appropriately
Make sure the paper is in the
correct format and style

 All figures, tables and
references
Things to avoid










Being long winded – 10 words when only 5 are needed!
‘Flowery’ language
Abbreviations and jargon
Speculation or anecdotes – keep to the facts!
A ‘gimmicky’ title
 makes wild, unjustified claims or may not be taken
seriously
Poor or incomplete references
Poor quality figures
Incomplete data
Conclusions not supported by data
Don’t cover up or ‘fudge’ the data – this is seen as
unethical
Ethics in writing a scientific paper







Originality
 The results must be new (originality)
 Must not have appeared elsewhere in another journal
Acknowledge the contribution of others
 Acknowledgements section
 References / citations
Authentic and accurate
 The research should have been done and should be
accurate
 Recent high profile cases of “fabricating” results
The article should not be under consideration by
another journal
Get permission to reproduce other material that has
been published elsewhere
Many journals now have an ethical policy
Plagiarism and fraud can lead to serious consequences
Selecting the right journal

An important decision…
Selecting the right journal

Choose the right one for you before writing has begun
Selecting the journal (continued)



Decide as early as possible on your first choice
journal
Check the audience and scope of the journal
 You can find it in the printed version
or on the Web
 IOP Journals web site - Most recently published IOP
papers are available for FREE (journals.iop.org)
 Contact the Publisher or Editor if in doubt
 Contact IOP’s Beijing office
 Browse the back issues to understand the journal’s
style and scope
Select the journal that will provide the most
recognition (and where you have a reasonable chance
of being published)
Selecting the journal (continued)

Prestige / Authority
 Impact factor and reputation.
Impact Factor (2007) = A / B
Where,




A = Cites in 2007 to articles published in 2006 and 2005
B = Number of articles published in 2006 and 2005
Speed of publication
 Electronic publication means papers are published online in advance
of printed version
Visibility
 E.g. all papers published in IOP journals are free online for 30 days
from publication (“This Month’s Papers”)
 Search facilities in online version ensure other people can find your
work easily
 Alerting service
Page / Article charges?
Recommendation from a colleague
Selecting the journal (continued)

Which publisher? Why does it matter?
 Commercial (Elsevier Science, Wiley, Taylor
and Francis, Kluwer Academic Publishers)

Society publishers (Institute of Physics
Publishing, American Physical Society,
German Physical Society, Chinese Physical
Society)
Submitting your paper

Details you will need to provide:
 Full details of authors:





affiliations / addresses of all authors
contact details of ‘corresponding’ author
Nominate an alternative contact if the
corresponding author is not available
Copyright form (which may have to be signed
by all authors)
Follow ‘Instructions for Authors’
Submitting the manuscript: visit the journal home page

What happens next?



Editor acknowledges your paper
Preliminary decision to send to referees or not
 In scope of the journal?
 Is the manuscript complete?
Editor selects referees for the paper
 Independent experts
 Broad knowledge of the field
 Previous record of fair and constructive refereeing
 Are available and have the time
What happens next? (continued)

Normally require 2 referee reports (can be one to
three referees)

Referees send their reports back to the Editor

So-called ‘single blind’ referee process
 Referee knows who the author is
 Authors are not informed who the referee is

Editor makes decision based on referee reports
Adjudicator is selected if the reports are
conflicting

What is peer review?





Independent assessment by experts in the
field
Referees provide constructive criticism and
feedback on your paper
A ‘filter’ for scientific quality control
Publishing a paper in a peer-reviewed journal
gives more credibility to your work than if you
post it on your own web site
Peer review is an essential part of obtaining a
grant or publishing in a journal
Referees’ report: Scientific Quality






The ideal referee report
 Constructive advice
 Suggest possible improvements / revisions
 Point out any omissions, errors
Scientific merit: significant new results and originality
Accurate and correct
Sufficient discussion of the context of the work, and
suitable referencing
Suitable material for the Journal
 Right subject coverage
Overall objective:
 To publish good science in understandable language
Referee report (I): Scientific Quality

IOP Quality ratings
Q1: makes a major contribution to the
advancement of the subject (the top 15% of
papers in the field)
Q2: Good quality work – original, interesting and
internationally competitive
Q3: Borderline work – of limited interest
– is there a good reason to publish this
article?
Q4: Low quality work, adds little or no new
knowledge, not appropriate for a high quality
journal
Q5: Extremely poor work – clearly unsuitable
Q1 & Q2 accepted
Q3 Borderline
Q4 & Q5 rejected
Referee report (II): Presentation







Title: is it adequate/appropriate?
Abstract: is it complete by itself and suitable for
direct inclusion in an abstracting service?
Diagrams, tables, and captions: are they clear
and essential?
Text and mathematics: are they brief but still
clear?
Conclusion: does it summarise what has been
learned and why it is interesting and useful?
References: objective and up-to-date
Clear writing and communication of ideas,
readability and discussion of concepts
The publication decision
 You will get an email from the editorial
office:
 Accept
 Modify / revise


Comments and suggestions from referees
Reject

Many good journals have rejection rates over
50%
Responding to referees’ comments
 Read referees’ report and put away for a day!
 Read them again!
 Respond to each and every comment
specifically
 Keep a list of your changes
 Where you disagree, explain why
 If referee misses a point it is not necessarily
his/her fault
 Be polite!
 Prepare a detailed covering letter with your
response
If your paper is rejected
 Do not despair: treat referees’ comments
as a free expert advice
 You can re-write your article taking into
account the suggestions of the referees
and re-submit it
 Note: If you re-submit the paper to any
IOP journal, you need to add enough
significant new results in it
 If you think the review was unfair, appeal
to the journal by sending a letter and
explaining why you think your work did
not receive a fair treatment
If your paper is accepted
 Great - celebrate!
 The journal will expect you to check your
proofs rapidly and carefully
 Nominate another person if you are
unavailable
 Give one copy of proofs to somebody else
to read
 Reply to editor’s queries
 Order offprints of your paper at this stage
How long does it all take?
 J Phys: Condensed Matter
Publishing times (median):

Receipt to first decision = 38 days

Receipt to acceptance = 76 days

Receipt to web publication = 104 days
This is very fast – some journals can
take up to 5 times as long!
GOOD LUCK!! 

科学水平不高，追求论文数量。
写作水平和英文水平欠缺，不能正确表达研究结果和对
其进行充分的讨论，难以达到学术交流目的，甚至使审
稿人难以相信你的研究结果 – 不一定是偏见。
内容不适合所投期刊，如JPCM强调基础凝聚态物理，
因此，属于材料科学的论文难以被发表

做好研究工作是写好论文的基础
利用互联网和电子期刊全面检索本领域的研究进展
提早全面准备写论文，不要等到最后
采用标准格式建立参考文献的电子数据库如Excel文件方
式，方便以后检索和引用
在研究过程中尽可能采用标准方式记录研究数据，争取
形成数据—图表—引用的自动数据链
提早训练写作英语（或其他外语）科技论文，检索一些
本领域的范文论文，反复熟记其语言写作特点和语言用
法，克服写作自己论文时的语言障碍, 但切记不可照搬!
多与老师、同学或同事讨论，认真思考不同的观点
写好第一篇外语论文，不要急于投稿
