Research Paper Writing
- 1. Technical Paper Writing Presentation by Ganesh Visavale Computational Fluid Dynamics-Division Centre for Computational Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Pune July 15, 2011
- 2. Outline
- 3. Why write...? 1 Communicate your work to the world If people dont know about it, wont use it Increase probability of adoption Clear writing > clear thinking 2 Be kind to your readers/ learners 3 Good writing can be a joy 4 Skills transfer to other endeavors
- 4. Goals of a paper 1 Communicate ideas & experiments 2 Persuade people of the approach 3 Describe experiments and results 4 Allow others to reproduce your results precisely 5 Remain honest !
- 5. Editing 1 90% of writing is editing 2 Delete every unnecessary word 3 Break down complex sentences 4 Refactor sentences for clarity and flow 5 Convert passive into active voice
- 6. Criteria for Evaluation 1 New Ideas ? New ideas present Stated concisely Significance 2 Significant diference ? Difference from existing related work Significant extension, Validation of earlier, unproven ideas 3 Referenced ? Read all the cited work Oldest and newest paper you have referred 4 Implementation ? Actually implemented If YES, how & of what practical importance 5 Lessons learnt ? You learnt Reader can learn 6 Alternatives & Other Criteria ? Evaluation of alternatives Comparative study, focus, presentation, writing style...etc

- 14. Parts of paper 1 Title Summarize in 2-10 words As short as possible, but no shorter Should encourage reader to read 2 Abstract Summarize the paper in a paragraph or two Include: contribution, approach, results & advantages First sentence: summarize the paper e.g.“In this paper, we introduce a new algorithm for computing the bounding box of a penguin“ 3 Introduction Goal: Provide context & encourage reader to read ahead Has several parts: Background & motivation Overview of the paper & contributions More details & summary of approach Summary of results & conclusions
