How to write a contemporary scientific article

Physics Education 2022-11-15 v2 History and Philosophy of Physics

Abstract

Today scientists are drowned in information and have no time for reading all publications even in a specific area. The information is sifted and only a small fraction of articles is being read. Under circumstances, scientific articles have to be properly adjusted to pass through the superficial sifting. Here I present written down instructions that I used to give to my students with almost serious advises on how to write (and how not to write) a contemporary scientific article. I argue that it should tell a story and should answer on the three main questions: Why, What and So what?
