Abstract

When you are writing the first draft, the most important goal is to get the scientific contents onto the page. During the initial drafting, it is usually a bad idea to worry much about how you actually write, because this can lead to writer’s-block, and then nothing gets done. It is better to start by getting all the information and ideas onto the page, and then to go back and revise it all afterwards for better writing style.
