Redacción de un Artículo Científico: Algunas Sugerencias

Abstract

The primary goal of writing a scientific article is to report the researcher's findings clearly, precisely, and concisely to the scientific community, thereby contributing to knowledge advancement which is crucial for informed decision-making. This educational review aimed to provide an understanding of what, why, and how to publish research findings, offering a guide on the publication process and the rules to be followed. Writing a scientific article remains the most accepted medium for reporting research results. A scientific article is generally structured into four classic sections according to the IMR&D style: Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion, essentially serving as an acronym summarizing the scientific method. As with any skill, writing high-quality manuscripts is achieved through experience and practice; therefore, it is unusual for a manuscript to be accepted as it was submitted to a journal without requiring prior modifications. The transfer of knowledge through a well-written publication can have an impact at the local, regional, and global levels.
