Abstract

Why is this chapter important? Your findings may be extremely valid and important. However, if the referees are not able to see or understand your findings because you have neither highlighted nor described them clearly enough, then your paper may not be published. Your contribution to the community may thus vanish into oblivion. In the words of English botanist, Sir Francis Darwin: In science the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not to the man to whom the idea first occurred.
