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: 与你的论文发表问题相关的资料
- 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？

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
（4） Introduction 前言

- 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?
（1）How to deal with Handling Editors?
* Be polite, but to the point;
* Ask for a change, if a clearly biased or unfair case;
（2）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）
（3）How to deal with “arrogant” and “ignorant” reviewers?
Provide a gentle statement for the “unreasonable” criticisms;
