D student working on robotics and deep learning. Like most researchers, I also need to publish research papers. Preparing research papers takes much effort and time. Sometimes it even gives pains. However, I realized that there are a bunch of materials on the web I can benefit from and started summarizing those materials. This document might contain disputable statements since it is for my personal retrieval. I welcome comments and collaboration. Please send me e-mails or pull requests.\n\n## Key Things to Keep in Mind\n\n### Write Now!\n\u003cimg src=\"writing_paradigm.png\" width=\"500\"\u003e\n\n- \"Writing first\" forces you to be clear \u0026 focused\n- It helps you develop the idea\n- It makes what you don't understand concrete\n\n### Top Down\n- Identify your key idea and contributions\n  - Just one clear and sharp idea\n  - If you have lots of ideas, write lots of papers\n- Tell a story\n  - Not what you did, but rather new idea or insights\n  - Basic flow\n    - Here is a problem\n    - It's interesting and unsolved\n    - Here is my idea\n    - My idea works (details or data)\n    - How my idea differs from others\n- A lead sentence to set context for a paragraph\n\n### Reader Centered\n- Get to the message ASAP\n  - Convey the intuition primarily; details are secondary\n  - State your contributions clearly\n- Visualize (figures) \u0026 summarize (tables)\n- Don't let readers work hard\n  - Be consise, accurate and clear; present enough context \u0026 information\n  - Not too many equations or graphs or paragraphs\n- Check what readers might (want/not want) and (know/not know)\n\n### Take Time\n- Reflect, write, review, and refine\n- Take time to write less\n\n### Where to Focus\n- Title (1000 readers)\n- Abstract (4 sentences, 100 readers)\n- Introduction (1 Page, 100 readers)\n- The problem (1 page, 10 readers)\n- My idea (2 pages, 10 readers)\n- The details (5 pages, 3 readers)\n- Related work (1-2 pages, 10 readers)\n- Conclusion and future works (0.5 pages)\n\n## How to Write Actually\n\n### Title\n- Catchy buy avoid being cute\n- Should represent the key idea and contributions\n\n### Abstract\n- Describe the work not the paper\n- Present concrete results rather than abstractive desription\n```\n1. General problem space/motivation\n2. Approach taken\n3. Key findings/results\n4. Why the findings/results matter\n```\n\n### Introduction\n- Motivation for the work\n- Prepare readers for the structure of the paper\n- Start broad and progrssively narrow down to the issue (problem)\n```\n1. (Context) State of the world: the problem area \u0026 why it is important\n2. (Need) Narrow down: gap between actual and desired situations (the big BUT)\n3. (Task and Object) To achieve (object), we study/develop/investigate/design/evaluate/implement/assess ...\n4. (Outcome) The key results are ...\n5. (Contribution) In summary, the contributions of this paper are ...\n6. (Structure) The rest of this paper is structured/organized as follows.\n```\n=\u003e Need a section for \"related work\"\n\nor ...\n```\n1. (Context) State of the world: the problem area \u0026 why it is important\n2. (Problem) Narrow down: the desired goal which is not achieved\n3. (Previous Works) Approaches taken in previous works and limitations (gap between actual and desired situations)\n4. (Task and Object) To overcome the above-mentioned limitations, we ...\n5.

(Structure) The rest of this paper is structured/organized as follows.\n```\n\n### Materials and Methods\n- Sufficient detail for reproducibility\n\n### Results and Discussion\n- Interprete the results\n\n### Conclusion\n- Present the outcome at a higer level of abstraction\n\n## Userfule Tools\n- Thesaurus: [Thesaurus](https://www.thesaurus.com/), [Onelook](https://www.onelook.com/thesaurus/)\n- Grammar \u0026 Style: [Grammarly](https://app.grammarly.com/), [HemingwayApp](http://www.hemingwayapp.com/)\n\n## References\n\n* Professor Kim's lecture note\n* How to write a great research paper\n* Top-10 tips for writing a paper\n* Writing scientific papers\n* The elements of style\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fuehwan%2Fhow-to-write-research-papers","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fuehwan%2Fhow-to-write-research-papers","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fuehwan%2Fhow-to-write-research-papers/lists"}
