1． Why write a scientific paper?
- Advance Knowledge in your research field with evidence;
- Explain your ideas;
- Two key components in a research paper:
- An explicit claim on your contribution on a research problem;
- Evidence to support your claim;
- Your contribution can possibly be a refutation of a hypothesis of the present problem.
2． What to claim for a scientific paper? 什么样的观点能够成为科学性论文论述的内容？
- Your technique solves a problem for the first time;
- Your technique performs better in the following aspects:
- Higher success rate 高成功率
- Coverage 覆盖率更高
- Efficiency 你的想法能够提高某问题的效率
- Usability 你的方法更容易让用户接受
- 写文章切忌面面俱到！一个，至多两个切入点为好，要讲深讲透！
3． Typical Structure of a Research Paper
- Title: Catchy and Indicative of your research contribution (吸引眼球并有意义)
- 文章题目越短，被接收的可能性反而越大
- Abstract: include the following items
- A summary of the research problem;
- Your claim;
- The evidence;
- Introduction: include the following items (the most important part!)
- Motivation
- A re-statement of Abstract
- Significance (重要性)
- An outline of the rest of the paper
- Related Work: 与你的论文问题相关的资料
- A critical review 批判的眼光对待以前及现有的方法
- 强调你的创新点
- Problem Statement and algorithm design: explain your idea in detail
- Evaluation: Evidence to support the claim of your research contribution
- 除非能用理论证明你的观点，最好要有实验结果与数据
- Conclusion & Summary of the research contribution
4． What to know before you write? 写论文前要知道些什么
- Assess the audience：给谁写
- Assess the purpose
- Read other people’s writing from the forums that you are targeting 要知道你的敌人是谁！看哪些人在做类似的工作
- Follow the rules
5． 如何写高质量论文？
- Choose a promising topic 选题很重要
- How to present a convincing case?
- What exactly is the problem being solved? 你的文章解决什么问题
- How are your ideas significant?
- Is all related work referenced and reviewed?
- Comparative studies with previous work are needed.
- Has your system implemented? 文章提出解决问题的方法是否实现了
- In-Depth Analysis of Empirical Results
- 写清实验细节Enough details for your experiment settings
- 有没有其它的可能实验途径？alternatives
- 实验结果是否一致并有结论性？Are the results consistent & conclusive?
- 实验中重要参数调整与选择的方法和原因
- 实验结果与前言（introduction）动机是否一致
- 实验过程中好的结果加以学习，坏的结果记录下来让他人避免
- Introduction 前言
- 1/3-2/3 rule from reviewer’s perspective:
- 1/3 time to read your introduction & make a decision
- 2/3 time to find the evidence for decision
- A good introduction with a good motivation is half of your success!
- Include the following items: 研究的问题；动机；技术贡献；证据；重要性；文章概要Outline
6． How to publish?
- Reading and citing relevant paper from the premier forums! (must)
- 技术进步文章是主题文章，应用型文章必须要强调创新点（innovation）
7． How to deal with feedback?
- How to deal with Handling Editors?
Be polite, but to the point;
Ask for a change, if a clearly biased or unfair case;
- How to deal with conflicting review reports?
杂志（Journal Submissions）：Provide a point-by-point statement of change! 将每个审稿人修改意见列出，并说明所作的修改
- 会议（Conference）
How to deal with “arrogant” and “ignorant” reviewers?
Provide a gentle statement for the “unreasonable” criticisms;
Try and resolve some of their comments 尽量按他们的意愿改
Your attitude to the reviewers is important! 修改稿可以再投

- 明确敌人是谁
- Choose a promising topic
