Detailed Information on Writing a Research Paper0:08

How to Avoid Content Mistakes in Research Paper4:51
A paper should be well-written and the author(s) proofread it before submitting it. I have seen on a few occasions some unreadable paper that look like they were automatically translated by Google. This is a guaranteed reject. Besides, if there are many typos because the author did not took the time to proofread their paper, it may bother the reviewers.
Mistakes in the Form3:07
It is important to respect the paper format, even if it is not the final version of the paper. In particular, I have seen several authors not respect the format for the references. But it is important if you want to give a good impression.
