Checklist Scientific Paper
Before writing, create a table of content (TOC)
- define a red line: what is the major story of your paper, what do you want to demonstrate/show?
- split that into sections
- put under each section/subsection a list of bullets on what to write
- Recommendation: use comment option in LaTeX to indicate the content, e.g. % analysis of first example, use only metrics for a and b
Define on forehand a semantic, and be consistent in your wording
- approach or a methodology
- analysis or an evaluation
Define a clear baseline/starting point of your approach
- what do we have today?, e.g. multi-metrics approach
- what are the deficiencies? - e.g. we are missing a complete system description
- comparison state-of-the-art in research
- what am I supposed to add? - e.g. complete system description. still some simplifications
Specifics
- check each sentence:
- does the verb reflect the right relation to the object, e.g.
- simple constructions, use only 1 object with max 1 attribute, e.g. contributes to an extended approach
- avoid this. Wherever you use this, reflect on whether it is "crystal clear" or leaves doubt. Use rather: The approach ...
Evaluations
- evaluate your approach with respect to e.g.
- sensitivity (what changes if I change an input value)
- cost/benefit analysis - there is no such thing as a free lunch
- after the analysis, are there lessons learned, things you would have made differently?
Conclusions
- start with a very short summary of what was performed
- use numbers, be specific
- pick up on what you wanted to show/demonstrate
