Publish or Perish: A Scientific Blueprint for a Journal Article

Abstract

Contributions perish due to a lack of structure and clarity. The time for framing and market is low, or knowledge about a feasible structure is missing. This article aids a framework suggestion of structuring an article to provide writers a scientific blueprint for most contributions to the International Journal of Engineering Pedagogy (iJEP). Therefore, we investigated to write down our expertise and knowledge on contributions in practice over many years. We look at typical mistakes and present knowledge nuggets to avoid these. Besides, we shed light on the specific parts of an article to present editors' expectations and present a light weighted approach for authors to quickly dive into the writing theme. Writers can apply this blueprint to sort their minds, write the structure of the contribution publishable, and shorten the time to market.
