A Good Paper
A good paper in JMPT makes a contribution to knowledge by
in a way that will be useful to others in future.
The knowled e ma be coded as an e uation or formulatedin some concise statements, and must always be supportedby experimental or theoretical evidence that allows the
reader to judge its value.Opinions are of very little value in a journal paper: claiming
a a new eory s goo or success u s unconv nc ng;however, providing evidence that allows a sceptical reader to

This research is not important transferable knowledge
Anal sis of existin work. This section has two ur oses: to summarize
previous work in the area (what knowledge exists in the area and is relevant tothe need of section 1), and to demonstrate that a gap in the knowledge exists(precisely what is the gap between the defined need and existing literature thatthis a er will attem t to fill?Reviewers Comments:
The claimed knowledge gap does not exist it has already been

Design of test and implementation. Given the above hypothesis, what is the
How can the hypothesis be proved or disproved? Typically this is achieved bycomparison with experimental data, or with existing models, but it is important
that the chosen test would be seen as valid even by someone initially sceptical.
Reviewers Comments:
The test does not prove anything
The test is over simplified The test is false the outcome will not prove anything because it

Results and evaluation. The results should be presented as clearly andobjectively as possible supported by a careful evaluation. The evaluation shouldbe written in such a wa that an informed reader seein the same results woulddraw the same conclusions and should not claim good agreement unless thishas been explicitly shown and the limits of the test are carefully defined.
Reviewers Comments: e resu s are oo spec c an app y on y o one s ua on Your interpretation of the results is wrong You claim more than you have proved

Style-1
Avoid Doubts, Demagogy and Exaggeration:
Para ra hs be innin another furthermore etc. are worr in to the reader the
suggest that you havent anticipated the structure of the section.
Typical demagogical expressions are: as it can be seen clearly in Fig. 3,analyzing the
curves given in Fig. 3, etc.
Avoid exaggerations such as it is extremely important, very difficult, etc.
Aim to be concise.
Citations:
The correct way to cite previous work includes some description of what the authors
did, and what the conclusion was. References in papers work best when the reference

The most common failing in academic writing is claiming that the paper is more
significant than it is. Be precise in describing the conclusions that may safely be drawn
