INTRODUCTIO
N
The goal of manuscript writing is to go  
beyond simply presenting facts and 
ideas.
It is to reach out to the reader to 
successfully  explain your findings and 
assist readers in  comprehending the 
topics at hand..
Contd...
This blog introduces and shows 
several  techniques for arranging a 
manuscript so that  readers remember 
the most important  messages you 
want to communicate after  reading it.
Although manuscript writing has a 
fsotrimctat, there still room to weave
cisaptivating a  that
sctoierynce while sctiollm mbeuinigc atesnjoythaeble. 
Scientists,  authors, and editors discuss 
the value and  significance of creativity 
and how to create a  great study.
Make sure your message is clear
Consider the message you wish to send to  your readers. If that 
isn't clear, there may be  later misinterpretations.
When a multidisciplinary group of authors is  becoming more 
common, a clear message is  even more crucial.
Contd...
I encourage groups to meet in person 
and  seek consensus on the main 
message and  the data selection, visual 
presentation, and  information needed 
to convey a powerful  message.
The main text should contain the most 
crucial  information, and additional data 
should be  placed in the supplementary 
content to avoid  distraction.
Contd...
Countless manuscripts are turned down  
because the discussion part is so 
lacking that  it's plain the author 
doesn't understand the  existing 
literature.
Writers should place their findings in a 
larger  context to show what makes 
them valuable or  unique.
Contd...
• There is a fine line between hypothesis and  evidence-based 
judgments to be drawn. In  the conversation, a writer can 
conjecture but  not excessively.
• It's never good when the conversation is just  guesswork because it's 
not based on the  author's experience. Include a one- or two-  
sentence statement in the end on the study  you want to conduct in 
the future and what  else needs to be investigated.
Components and 
structure  of 
ManAuftserc threi tpitlte  aWnd arbisttrianct,g the first part 
of a  research paper is the abstract. It is 
usually  short and communicates the 
scope of the  research paper writing 
(the rationale and goal  of the 
investigation).
It should include the study's 
background (the  existing body of 
knowledge), significance,  and 
objectives. It should explicitly explain or 
 describe the research 
questions/hypotheses  being tested.

METHODOL
OGY
The approach used determines 
whether or  not a study is valid. The 
Methodology  section should be given in 
such detail and  clarity that other 
researchers can reproduce  the work in 
their own environment.
The section on methodology is divided 
into  two parts: "Materials" and 
"Methods."
Contd...
Who/what was studied (e.g., humans, animals, corpses, tissue 
preparations)?
Who/what was inspected (e.g., humans, animals, corpses, tissue 
preparations)?  What types of therapies were used (for example, oral, 
injectable, and gas)?
What tools were employed in the investigation (e.g., HPLC, 
haemoglobin meters)?
The "Methods" section explains how  
individuals were manipulated to answer 
the  experimental question, how 
measurements  and computations were 
performed, and how  data was stored 
and analyzed."
METHODOLOGY SUB-
SECTIONS  FOR RESEARCH 
PAPER WRITING
The ethical criteria established by the country  or region should be 
mentioned and followed  in the Methods section.
The ICMR's Ethical Guidelines for Biomedical
Research  on Human Participants, for  are a
example, valuable resource  for
reference while researching humansubjects  in India.
Contd...
The ICMR's Guidelines for the use of 
Animals  in Scientific Research/INSA's 
Guidelines for  Care and Use of Animals 
in Scientific  Research.
The Committee for Control and 
Supervision  of Experiments on Animals 
(CPCSEA  Guidelines) for Care and Use 
of Animals in  Scientific Research 
(CPCSEA Guidelines) for  Care and Use 
of Animals in Scientific  Research 
(INSR).
Contd...
The Methodology sections of manuscrip
t  writing are the final subcomponent 
deals with  data management and 
statistical analysis.
In the publication, it is critical to state 
how  data quality was ensured 
throughout the  investigation, including 
whether a single or  double data entry 
approach was utilized for  data 
management.
Contd...
As part of the data management 
technique,  the authors should specify 
whether  consistency or random checks 
were  performed. It's critical to include 
the name of  the statistical programme 
used for data entry  and analysis, along 
with the required  references.
The Methodology part should always be 
 written in the past tense and presented 
 logically and ordered.
RESU
LT
The easiest section to write is the 
Results  section for manuscript writing. 
In this section,  one must describe the 
intervention/findings.
Observation’s Text, Tables, and Graphs 
are  the most common components of 
the Results  section.
Contd...
So that unnecessary duplication of 
material  supplied in tables and 
figures is avoided in  the text.
The text should deliver unique 
information  and highlight the most 
significant features of  the figures and 
tables. Only the most critical  points 
should be underlined or summarized. It  
is not necessary to display the same 
data in  tables and figures.
DISCUSS
ION
One of the most challenging portions of a 
manuscript  to write is the Discussion section. 
The commentary  adds value to the paper by 
comparing the authors'  work to that of other 
scientists.
The discussion should be on the interpretation  
(findings), and the debate should focus on how 
the  study results contribute to the overall 
picture.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
It's important to recognize people who 
don't  fit the authorship standards, and 
the  acknowledgement should be brief 
and limited  to particular scientific or 
technical aid and  financial support.

REFERENCES
The manuscript's writing type and nature  determine the overall number 
of references.  It's always a moral idea to check the  "Instructions to the 
Authors" page for specific  instructions.
Citations should be numbered in the same  order as they appear in the 
text and placed  after the document. The referencing style  varies on the 
magazine, so careful  consideration should be given before journal  
publication.
