如何写一篇高质量的科技论文(英文版).doc

What is a scientific paper? A paper is anized description of hypotheses, data and conclusions, intended to instruct the reader. Papers are a central part of research. If your research does not generate papers, it might just as well not have been done. “Interesting and unpublished” is equivalent to “non-existent.”
