You only need to work harder than the next person(不要和大牛比，只需要比旁边人努力一点点)

Introduction
(1)First paragraph should tell the reader about everything except for the results:What’s your study about?
(2)Second paragraph
Topic sentence(中心思想).
（中国人文章中心思想是隐含在文中的，但英文文章是第一句）
Next paragraph
(把读者引导到，研究很多，但里面有问题，引导读者往这方向去想)
Second last paragraph
How you did your research or method(participants,materials ,and procedures)(就是要把怎么做的说一遍，不要只讲一次。)
Last paragraph
What did you expect your results to be?(Hypotheses)(期望自己的结果是怎么样子的？)这里有争论，人有先入为主、懒惰的一面，应该先把期望的结果讲出来。
Method/Main Test
What & how(Material & Procedures)
The most important thing to do is to write linearly
(读者通过时间轴来获知实验整个流程，把后面几个实验和第一个、第二个的区别说清楚)
Results
The most important thing to do is to write linearly
(审稿人很累很懒，忘记了假设，因此这里必须再提假设是什么。需要解释清楚为什么会是这样，中国人写结果一般写不清楚，没有讲清楚结果的原因)
The second important thing is that you must have at least one figure for your paper
No body will read your paper without a figure(图非常重要，甚至可以请艺术家绘图)
Discussion
本研究的目的，本研究的发现（因为审稿人很老很累），最多3样就好，不能超过5样。
（读文章，看了标题，再看讨论的第一段）
写讨论的格式：下面有3个发现，我的研究和之前的研究有什么不同的地方，比前人进步在哪里。
Limitations and future studies.（讲给审稿人听的，让她来挑刺，主要是本文的硬伤，最好不超过3个，future study是为了使审稿人对缺陷充满信心）
Conclusion
4.Submitting a paper

Proof reading: Do not trust Google Translate

Next step
Waiting
How long is too long?
How and when to nudge?
Action letter(写给杂志的秘书，咨询进展)

回复评审意见时，reviewer的意见要加粗显示。并且对多个reviewer的回复字数要一致。回复要显示出自己的谦逊，回复要越详细越好。

大部分写文章的人是很痛苦的过程，很少有人觉得不难。
可以尝试预注册，先把idea发到网站上，网站是不公开的，再做，做不出来没关系。
和别人合作，在做研究之前要定好第一作者、通信作者，在研究开始之前，特别是合作之前，一定要先把利益讲清楚。最好是一个人先把文章写好，其他人再改。
第一篇文章是很痛苦的，一定要自己先写，再改。
