Writing A Scientific Article

I have a chance to write a scientific article by choosing my favourite topic this semester during ALES class. To be honest, it takes me quite a while to decide which option I'm gonna to write about because they all seem pretty hard. Some of the topics need us to compare journals from nowadays with the one from fifteen years ago, which means I have to search at the library. At last I choose the option one 'open access' because it provides me questions I have to answer. Although I have plenty of time to do it, it is still difficult to write an article about something I've never heard about before, especially a  'scientific article'.

First of all, I look up the summary and questions so that I can roughly know what 'open access' means and the aspects I'm planning to write. I divide the entire article to five parts: introduction, background, discussion, impacts, and conclusion. I search on the website like Wikipedia to gather information and ask my family members of their point of views. Plus, I find that Peter Suber's rearches on 'open access' are really helpful to me. That's much better than I think about everything by myself. In the end, I name my scientific article as 'Diversity of Open Access'. The moment I finish writing the article I am so proud of myself. However, I need more practise and have to start a bit earlier than this time.













When I'm browsing my fellow classmates' blogs, I find out some people have really interesting design and contents. For example, Yolanda's blog has an intersting name: Find Mood. But what I like the best is the videos and funny pictures she put in. I will keep my style and improve my blog at the same time : ]
