Scientific writing should be in a formal style with correct grammar, spelling and orthographic rules.

Passive voice or more specifically— a third person is used for scientific writing, instead of ‘I’ or ‘we’.

Use present tense throughout your writing even though you are referring to the previous research.

Common short forms like e.g. are avoided, instead, the whole word is used.

Give a prior list of abbreviations if you use any short forms in your writing.

Expressions like doesn’t, can’t, don’t, and aren’t are also avoided during scientific writing, instead of that the full form is used.

Instead of “I” always use “we” to demonstrate your study and study results. Use “I” only if you have your own opinion or interpretation you are mentioning.

Use correct citations and references to avoid plagiarism, give credit to the original author and authenticate your writing.
