6. First exercises for the begining of a scientific paper.

 Process to achieve a (sometimes good) publication:
1. Please write your statement with a pen, it enhances the thinking process. Do not use pencil. Throw the sheet to the garbage (anti-ecology-kind). Wait two minutes, and write the statement again.
2. With your statement in hand, go to the board and read this statement to the audience. Listen to the corrections and discussions, and rewrite the statement.
3. With your corrected statement, please write the keywords obtained form it using the pen. If you get a mistake, throw the sheet and write the statement and its keywords again.
3a. Find the adequate keywords. It helps you to find the adequate literature. Now the online databases make easy the use of hierarchical query method. This method runs as follows: first, the reviewing of keywords, just as looking for a genre in music or movies; second the reviews appear from finding of keywords. In indexed databases, work-titles are listed in order of relevance, as appeared in movie outlines, also categorized in some musical databases. From there, the abstract reading work begins directly. This makes the effort made by researchers to project in a ornate summary, preventing a waste of search query
4. A well backstage production leads to a good publication. Save some additional information about your findings in your personal folder. In a text, write your criteria on the works of the other colleages. It provides the foundings for a state--of--art.
5. Follow these steps:
  • I won't do it (Really)?
  • I can't do it: when you give a strong justification explaining that the work is out of scope. 
  • I want to do it, when you consider that you have the background for doing it. Hypothesis/Proposal formulation.
  • How do I do it? Methodology.
  • I'll try to do it: Experimental Setup.
  • I can do it: Discussion.
  • I will do it: Results. 
  • I did it: Conclussions.
6. Remember in the learning position you aim to: a School student is the person who knows something, a Bachelor is the person capable to do something, a Master is the person who knows the different ways or methods to do something, an Expertise is the person who knows the better (common) way to do something, a Doctor is the person who proposes something new.
