    Bravo, Professor Carr! Below are my notes that I think might benefit others.
    Key points:
    1. don't procrastinate;
    2. review the notes and renew the literature search;
    3. determine who your audience is - most likely reviewers, so get their concerns firstly addressed;
    4. create the outline and get the big picture done, i.e., complete the first draft while resisting the temptation to correct and edit as you go; the logical sequence of data/tables/figures may be the outline; while writing the first draft, take notes indicating what references might be needed and would be about, but don't stop to collect the references;
    5. begin with the easier part of the task - experimental section rather then the introduction; then follows the results and discussion section;
    6. then comes the really hard part - critical editing where you make sure that the English is coherent and the science is correct;
    7. write the conclusion in a numbered format;
    8. then comes the abstract and the acknowledgements;
    9. now comes the introduction, the two most important things to address in which are the purpose and relevant background;
    9. then collect the references.
    Some final notes:
    1. always check the manuscript requirements for the journal of interests.
    2. a few references on writing. Please refer to the video.

    Really, the best advice I can give anyone writing a research paper is to KNOW YOUR TOPIC. Read and read and read and read and read and read about it. Read weeks before you're going to write it. Read in between meals, when you're in commute, waiting for a friend in a cafe - just read. Don't even think of the structure or the content. Just read everything you can find about it and bookmark everything. Finally, when you know the topic by heart, when you can discuss it and talk about it without even needing to look at the original articles and sources, you'll find that writing the paper would come naturally to you. You'll be able to form important discussion points just from what you read - all because you understood what you're writing about. Then you can begin going through your sources, jotting down notes, highighting key elements you want to use to support your statements. You won't have a hard time piecing them together because you're working from the top down rather than trying to put puzzle pieces together and seeing what fits to form a narrative.
    tldr: READ

    During my Degree studies, I developed a model of essay-preparation that was largely responsible for high 90s and 100% marks. The university actually asked me to document the approach and they shared it with other students. I call it my Christmas Tree model. On a blank DIN A3 sheet of paper I drew a cartoon-like Xmas tree, with a bucket/pot at the bottom, a trunk tapering up towards a crowning star and a number of branches projecting from each side of the trunk. I then took small post-its and 'decorated' the tree. The bucket had post-its with one-liners describing pertinent background and origins. The trunk had the thesis/question of the essay/paper (always word-for-word if possible!). The branches were populated with obligatory points from the set reading and lectures as well as discovered information from material BEYOND the set literature and sources; indicates a willingness to look beyond the spoon-fed. With the baubles of information on the tree, I would set imaginary tinsel criss-crossing the branches, connecting post-its with related information or highlighting causalities/opportunities not immediately obvious from the reading; 'synthesis' of ideas shows creativity and analytical thinking rather than straight regurgitation. Around the base of the tree, I would add 'presents' representing useful quotes, factoids and also key bibliography components; again, adding references to multiple forms and sources of media not contained in the set literature shows a desire to 'look beyond'. With the initial look of the tree established, I would then do that one last thing - place the Conclusion 'star' at the top. The conclusion would draw together all of the salient points, making certain that the actual thesis/question is reacted to properly (keep your eye on the trunk!) and maybe throw in some out-of-the-box synthesis or suggestions. The beauty of this highly visual method is that a) the post-its can be re-arranged, removed, re-worded or added to, permitting quick experiments in re-focus and content, b) the entire guts of the potential essay can be seen schematically at a glance, highlighting omissions, superfluous info and possible connections. If all of the desired bullet-points are there, it's time to translate those short texts into paragraphs within a classic essay/report format. Some might say that there are online and app-based option that do roughly the same. Go for it! I'm a lo-tech, visual-learning guy and the ability to redact postits physically connects me to the work better. Good luck everybody.

    To everyone having a hard time with procrastinating, here are some tips.
    Start by opening a doc and giving it a title, this gives you a clear starting point that's not stressful.
    Take the prior knowledge you have about the subject, and use that as a jumping-off point to start research. The more comfortable you are with the subject, the more comfortable you'll be with the paper.
    Plan to do the assignment at a specific date and time, and when that time comes go to a non-distracting environment.
    Give yourself a specific cue to start assignments, like a song that you only listen to when you're working.
    Make a playlist and write at least one sentence every time a new song starts.
    Eat a chocolate chip (or other small snack) after each sentence or paragraph.
    Hope this helps!

    Great advice, especially for beginning writers. I agree wholeheartedly with the tip about not editing and correcting when writing the first draft. Trying to write a perfect sentence the first time will slow you down and possibly lead to paralysis. Get the ideas and logical flow down first, then go back and correct the grammar and punctuation.

    Hello, Professor Carr. First off, it's a pleasure to engage with someone of your expertise from the University of Minnesota's Department of Chemistry. Your insights into the research paper writing process are invaluable, especially for early-career scientists. You've provided a comprehensive breakdown of the process, covering everything from the preliminary steps to the importance of producing a first draft without getting bogged down in corrections.
    The structured approach you've laid out is incredibly practical:
    1. Preliminary steps, including updating literature reviews.
    2. Determining the audience and paper purpose.
    3. Creating an initial draft as a creative process without immediate editing.
    4. The importance of an outline.
    5. Starting with the experimental section.
    6. Moving to the results and discussion.
    7. Undertaking the hard critical editing.
    8. Writing conclusions and the introduction.
    9. Incorporating references.
    Emphasizing the significance of adhering to journal manuscript requirements and highlighting Professor Royce Murray's paper as a unique resource was a great touch.
    Your approach to research paper writing is practical and, most importantly, it emphasizes clarity and a systematic approach. As with any craft, writing takes practice, and your guidelines provide a robust framework that can reduce anxiety for new researchers.
    Thank you for sharing your expertise. I'm sure many researchers, especially those just starting out, would find these guidelines invaluable.

    Great contribution, personally I only differ in one point. I like to add to the document a quick reference (using automatic reference generator) while working on it, not doing so makes the work harder afterwards. Sometimes we read many articles and books and not referencing while writing makes difficult putting everything together at the end because its really hard to remember the exact page or paper from were we got the information. So my "notes" are quick generated references I guess :P. Besides that I found the algorithm very interesting. Thanks for sharing your knowledge

    I think by the time you are in your sophomore year, you have developed your own fast-track system for churning out papers and cramming for exams. You just need a method that works for you.
    -- gather material
    -- synthesize and summarize
    -- add a few comments and ideas that showed you've put some thought into it (if it's a paper)
    -- edit and type it up
    Depending on the size of the project, it could take 3 days to a month. Cramming for exams was sort of similar
    -- summarize your notes from class into an outline of 4-8 pages. Omit stuff you already know and obvious stuff you can easily figure out.
    -- make flashcards -- if appropriate -- for some of the outline
    -- memorize everything by massive repetition
    -- time it so your maximum memory retention occurs right at test time
    That process would almost always take 3 days. It just became second nature -- flashcards, outline.

    Thank you so much, Professor Carr. I wrote my Master thesis and my professor and I had a heated argument where he criticized me for not starting with Chapter 1 (Introduction). I pointed out that it makes more sense to start with my literature review to gauge what others are saying. I persisted and ignored his advice, much to his dismay. I wrote the introduction last, followed by the abstract. This correlates exactly to what you pointed out here. My research was a qualitative research on educational and pedagogical approaches. Though you spoke on a scientific research paper, I see many similarities between yours and mine.

    I did a 13 page research paper on Chaucer's "The Wife of Bath's Tale" in 13 straight hours while at university...the trick, no rests, follow your outline from beginning to end and finding an appropriate number of sources and points to support your argument, and edit as you go.
    If you have a tendency to wait till the last minute to give yourself that added pressure to help you write, the best thing to do is your research way in advance of your writing so you don't have a sleepless (and stressful) night like I had.

    If I were to do any writing, I would first verbalise inside my head. I'd spend time composing thoughts, while resisting paper and pen, until the urge becomes too great. Everyday, I do this in bed, under shower, in rain, snow, etc. I am like this with paintings too. As a long-practised artist, I always think pictures inside my head, before I ever approach any blank canvas. Likewise, I never approach blank papers without words inside my head. This way beats Writer's Block.

      Steve Ligon it works always. I am doing the same with animation. I am practising animation moving inside my head, though it is hard, but I keep practising.
      I am also practising speed typing and Gregg shorthand inside my head. Everyday, while I walk the distance between work and home, I always picture the strokes of Gregg shorthand letters and words inside my head. While walking the hills, I imagine writing shorthand strokes and brushing up my speed. I have been doing this everyday for over a year.

      Rick Loh, For exercises, take a dictionary and open it. Look at all the words inside, and pick out the words that you find interesting. Try creating sentences with those words inside your head. Compose them in anyway you like and add drama, if you like.
      That is an exercise that I do almost everyday.
      Dictionaries help beat Writer's Block. For inspiration, I just open dictionaries, randomly pick words and put them into lively dramatic sentences. I often go to websites for dictionaries as those below, where I see examples of words used in sentences.
      www.vocabulary.com
      www.wordnik.com
      If you want to build up vocabulary, there are plenty of websites to help you with that. Look up SAT words, GRE words, and so on. These are what American kids are learning. The idea is that, the more words you have, the more you can breeze through university books and be able to understand verbose writings everyday.
      Urban Dictionary in a link below - This site contains all the colorful slang words that you might love for writing dialogues, but you can't use them in academic writing.

      To put it succinctly, this is what I call having a clear line of sight before you shoot the target object (be it writing, singing etc.). I can see why this practice will work all the time. It's said we humans learn 70% through visual queues and some research also suggested that the brain interprets words first into pictures before storing or processing hence why presentations with just visuals engage more than the contrary. Steve Jobs presentation is always in pictures no wonder his products rivals most. Thanks Pink lady for your suggestion
