Paper 3:  How to write a scientific paper.

The main idea of this paper is to show the challenges that are in writing a scientific paper from abstract, Introduction, scientific research, scientific writing, scientific publishing and conclusion and demonstrate how you can overcome them. In abstract: the more you write good scientific papers, more you public, more you are known and more you get job. Introduction: should be attractive and cover all paper. Scientific research: The purpose of scientific research is to get paid, even if the institution takes more money however you should publish. Scientific writing: Journal editor will edit, and you can have more errors and you should correct them but if the errors are not caught before publication, we write erratum and you put reference on it. Errata is good to career. Conclusion: Writing conclusion is changing abstract from present to past.

Note that when I was reading the title I was thinking that they will tell me how and steps of writing a scientific paper, but I have seen challengers and why should write the scientific paper.
