- <p>Writing and publishing a scientific paper in academic journals is a highly competitive, time-consuming stepwise<br>process. The road to scientific writing and publication is rarely straightforward. Scientific writing has uniform format,<br>which is perplexing for the novice science writers due to its inflexible anatomy (structure) and physiology (functions). Many<br>obstacles are allied with the scientific writing path which can be minimized by applying some simple guidelines and<br>practices. The scientific papers have an almost similar format but, original articles are divided into distinct sections and each<br>segment contains a specific type of information. The basic anatomy of scientific papers is mainly comprised of the structure<br>of the various components of a scientific paper, including title, abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion,<br>conclusion, acknowledgements and references. However, the physiology of a scientific paper is difficult to understand. Early<br>career researchers and trainees may be less familiar with the various components of scientific papers. In this study, we<br>applied an observational approach to describe the essential steps to facilitate the readers and writers to understand the basic<br>characteristics, anatomy and physiology of writing the various sections of a scientific paper for an academic science journal.</p>
