The Art of Writing an Article

Abstract

The advent of information technology and the required information at the finger tips by using search engines writing an article is not that much difficult as it before. Hence, the author should be very careful in preparing a manuscript, citing the references, preparing an abstract and a good title, otherwise the article is likely to be rejected by the publishers. If the title is heart, abstract is the soul then eyes and ears are references and reviews. Title is a most important part of an article because it is a gateway to the content of a research article. A good title to the research article is the one which is able to focus the research work to the fullest extent. Likewise, an abstract is like a trailer and should give stimulation to the reader to go through the entire article. On the other than if the reader is unimpressed with the information in the abstract the reader will never read the article and the very purpose of publishing an article is nullified. A good abstract should be honest, trustworthy and summary of the manuscript with a continuity of thoughts. The purpose of references in any article is to identify and locate the source of information used for justifying the need for conducting the research work. While citing the references the author should take into account by giving the relevant citations in an appropriate manner as desired by the editorial board of the Journals. The other obligatory on the part of an author of an article is he should satisfy not only the editorial board of any Journal but also the peer reviewers whose comments are necessary for publication. Peer Review is an important element in the research process before publication and this review makes the road either to publish or to reject the article. It is important for the author while submitting the manuscript to prepare a covering letter and it should contain why this article is important to the journal and its readers. The author while preparing the manuscript should follow the ethics according to the nature and subject matter. The author should be careful in choosing the relevant subject the source of information, preparing right title, scripting good abstract and finally an acceptable manuscript.
