General information is always provided in English while specific information e.g.,or native German speakers is provided in German.
Prepare your manuscript by starting with key sections such as Results and Materials and Methods, and refine it by checking recent articles from your chosen journal for formatting and style insights. Use reference management software like Endnote to simplify citation and referencing tasks, and gather all relevant data and protocols to avoid starting with a blank page.
In the discussion section, place your study’s results in context with existing literature, comparing and contrasting findings. Use primary literature for citations, avoid excessive use of review articles, and conclude with a concise summary of your study’s impact and future implications.
In the Results section, describe each figure and panel in detail using past tense and active voice, ensuring you present results in a logical order. Be precise about methods, comparisons, and statistical validations, and avoid discussing the data—save interpretations for the Discussion section. Conclude with a summary of your overall findings.
