Advice

Advice I would give to those writing their first scientific paper would be to start researching as soon as you find your topic! There is not such a thing as too much research, but there is such a thing as too little! Be specific in your research, the more specific, the narrower your search results will be, and there will be less to go through to get to good, reliable information. I would also tell them to work on the paper at least every other day, if not every day. Even if the paper is not due for several weeks, doing a little bit at a time will ensure it is the best you can do. Make sure to be organized, and have at least a few people read over it to make sure it flows well, and grammar is correct. Always use credible sources, and learn to cite properly to avoid plagiarism!!
