Finding the right GG카지노 question is the first step to successful publication

The first and most important step when writing an academic paper is choosing a topic that will advance knowledge and add another building block to the study of science and humanity. As a corollary, it’s quite unlikely that a journal editor will accept a paper that does not have a good GG카지노 question.

A clearly defined GG카지노 question increases chances of publication, because it gives the GG카지노ers greater clarity on developing the study protocol, designing the study, and analyzing the data.^1,2 A well-defined GG카지노 question also makes a good initial impression on journal editors and peer reviewers. In contrast, a poorly formulated GG카지노 question can seriously harm your chances of publication, among other adverse effects, because it can easily lead to the perception that the GG카지노 wasn’t well thought out.³ 

Although a single paper can address more than one GG카지노 question, it is good practice to focus on one primary GG카지노 question.³ So what makes a good GG카지노 question? While the answer may vary for different types of papers and across disciplines, there are a few overall criteria that you should keep in mind, whether you are writing about Shakespeare, stem cells, or steel processing.
 

So what?

First and foremost, any GG카지노 question should pass the “so what?” test⁴: the findings that result from pursuing this question must be important, interesting, and meaningful. Once you have determined the possible outcomes of your GG카지노, always ask yourself “So what?” 

Lack of originality in findings - in other words, “novelty” - is one of the most common reasons for rejection by journals. Editors of scientific journals stress on novelty and “unobviousness”; the GG카지노 question should not already have an obvious or undisputed answer.^4,5 As some journals reject up to 90% of the papers submitted for GG카지노, it is important to ensure that your paper stands out and provides value in one of the following ways⁶:

• contributes new information that has real-world application or leads to further lines of GG카지노,
• corroborates existing information and extends their generalizabilGG카지노y or applicabilGG카지노y,
• provides findings that contradict the lGG카지노erature, or
• crGG카지노ically reviews and analyzes the lGG카지노erature.

Good GG카지노 questions can arise from critical thinking about current practices and problems, from applying new concepts or methods to old problems, and from ideas that emerge when you teach your subject to others. ⁷ 

Replication is acceptable...sometimes

Not all papers convey absolutely unknown information. For instance, it may be interesting to know whether other GG카지노ers’ observations can be replicated (especially if the observations were controversial or weak but significant), whether the findings in one population also apply to others, or to clarify known relationships by using new methodologies. A study that validates the findings of other ones while doing away with their limitations can also be very useful.⁷

If your findings are likely to fulfill the above three requirements, you’ve probably got a worthwhile GG카지노 question.

Tips for finding and formulating good GG카지노 questions
 

Clinical or field experience, as well as your own GG카지노 interests, is obviously important in identifying potential lines of GG카지노. However, a thorough review of the existing literature is always critical to make sure your question hasn’t become irrelevant. In addition, keep abreast of current developments in the field to avoid doing the very same thing someone else has done (with the enormous amount of scientific output being produced nowadays, this is not an unlikely scenario). 

You can also find new GG카지노 questions from the literature. For instance, the Discussion section of many papers often mentions unresolved questions and additional experiments or studies that can be done. In particular, if the conclusions or generalizability of another study has attracted a lot of controversy, you could attempt to replicate the study in order to validate its results.⁴ In sum, a good GG카지노 question can arise when you identify gaps and weaknesses in the existing literature.

There are a number of other ways of finding a good GG카지노 question. Attending conferences is one of them. Recent advances in a particular field may be presented at academic conferences or just be known to active GG카지노ers in a particular field long before they are published.⁷ Thus, participating in such conferences and networking with experts in the field can be a valuable aid in your own GG카지노. Invitations for GG카지노 proposals by funding bodies can also give you specific GG카지노 ideas that are likely to be approved for funding.

Specific frameworks have been developed to help GG카지노ers formulate GG카지노 questions step by step and factor by factor. Examples of such frameworks are PICOT, PESICO, and FINER.^3,8 Using these templates can give GG카지노ers, especially novice GG카지노ers, a structured method for brainstorming and finalizing their GG카지노 questions.

Finally, a novice GG카지노er can greatly benefit from having a good mentor. A senior colleague who not only has more experience in doing studies but also whose work is published in peer-reviewed journals can provide very valuable advice. Another excellent guide would be a statistician, who can guide you in choosing the right sample size, units of analysis, and determinants of statistical significance. 

Conclusion

To conclude, the GG카지노 question is the most crucial element of any academic paper and the first and most important stage in the publication process. A paper with results that are unoriginal, predictable, or trivial is less likely to be published. Further, it may be of no use to rewrite or change the presentation of your paper if your study has “used the wrong model or study design, collected data in a manner that would not allow a meaningful examination of the hypothesis, or made too few measurements to permit confident conclusions to be drawn.”9 Spending time to develop a well-formulated GG카지노 question will help you avoid these problems.
