Writing-up of technical information is consuming time and efforts, however the exponential grow of innovations and finding should be relevantly shared by publications. Technical note (also known as innovation or technical development in some journals) is among short scientific article published by medical journals and sometime engineering journals. It is produced for describing a new technic, procedure, or development relevant for medical system. Sometimes, technical note describes the modification of an existing technics. This article presents a simple guide on writing Technical Notes and includes basic arguments as definition, appellations, and structure.

“…Do not write, for example ' … .samples were collected from the Random Formation and studied'. Write the abstract when you have finished the main text and craft it so as to draw the reader in to the main paper (Hartley and Cabanac 2017). Ensure that it is in block/ unstructured format, i.e.…”

There are many published items on guidance in scientific writing, and potential authors should not try to read too many of these to prevent information overload. This article aims to advise aspiring authors on producing scientific manuscripts for publication. It is particularly aimed at early career researchers in palynology and related topics who wish to publish their work in the peer-reviewed literature. It is vitally important that your manuscript makes a good initial impression with the journal editors. This means strictly adhering to the house-style (textual format) of the respective journal, and that your work is well-illustrated, well-structured and well-written. Despite the apparent complexity of the scientific publishing process, the system is primarily designed to allow several expert third parties to critically scrutinise your work in order to ensure scientific excellence. During the production of the first draft, authors are advised to anticipate issues that may be noted by peer reviewers. Consider carefully where to submit your work to. Specifically key metrics such as the impact factor, readership and scope of journals should be assessed. You will need to navigate an online submission process hence it is critical to organise your files effectively before submitting. It is possible, even likely, that you may be asked for more than one round of peer review. Moreover, you may have to recast your work and submit it elsewhere if it is declined by your first choice journal. Ethics in publishing are very important. For example you should invite colleagues to be co-authors only if they have materially contributed to the particular manuscript, and make strenuous efforts not to use the work of others unacknowledged. Remember that many more people will read your title, abstract and keywords than the main body of the paper so pay special attention to crafting these items optimally.

“…In contrast, the structured abstract follows a specific format to describe the paper [1]. This paper proposes employing the structured abstract based on IMRaD (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion) format [2,3] in computer science research papers. The IMRaD format has many advantages for the authors, editors, and reviewers.…”

The abstract is an extensive summary of a scientific paper that supports making a quick decision about reading it. The employment of a structured abstract is useful to represent the major components of the paper. This, in turn, enhances extracting information about the study. Regardless of the importance of the structured abstract, many computer science research papers do not apply it. This may lead to weak abstracts. This paper aims at implementing the natural language processing (NLP) techniques and machine learning on conventional abstracts to automatically generate structured abstracts that are formatted using the IMRaD (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion) format which is considered as a predominant in medical, scientific writing. The effectiveness of such sentence classification, which is the capability of a method to produce an expected outcome of classifying unstructured abstracts in computer science research papers into IMRAD sections, depends on both feature selection and classification algorithm. This can be achieved via IMRaD Classifier by measuring the similarity of sentences between the structured and the unstructured abstracts of different research papers. After that, it can be classified the sentences into one of the IMRaD format tags based on the measured similarity value. Finally, the IMRaD Classifier is evaluated by applying Naïve Bayes (NB) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers on the same dataset. To conduct this work, we use dataset contains 250 conventional Computer Science abstracts for periods 2015 to 2018. This dataset is collected from two main websites: DBLP and IOS Press content library. In this paper, 200 xml based files are used for training, and 50 xml based files are used for testing. Thus, the dataset is 4x250 files where each file contains a set of sentences that belong to different abstracts but belong to the same IMRaD sections. The experimental results show that Naïve Bayes (NB) can predict better outcomes for each class (Introduction, method, results, Discussion and Conclusion) than Support Vector Machine (SVM). Furthermore, the performance of the classifier depends on an appropriate number of the representative feature selected from the text.
