The Good Manuscript
摘要
No one is born a good writer, but some people may be more skillful than other. To conduct a good study and to write a good paper is a challenge that needs patience and discipline. If the research idea is good, the paper will most probably be good as well in the end, but it may take time, and even require several revisions. Scientific articles must meet high standards of methodology, ethics, and quality. The authors must be able to understand their methods and make sure that other researchers can reproduce them. Without good methods, the internal validity of the study can become compromised. Therefore, authors always need to make sure that the methods are correct and well-described.
