Abstract

A poorly written paper can make even the most innovative and scientifically sound research project appear insignificant. This presentation will identify simple procedures that can demystify the writing process so that it proceeds more smoothly. Examples from the social and behavioral sciences will be used to identify mistakes that are often made when writing papers, especially those that are intended to be read by international audiences. Suggestions on how to avoid these common pitfalls will be offered.
