Abstract
This paper clearly outlines flexible guidelines for writing a manuscript for publication. While the importance of research quality is undeniable, the presentation of a report often plays a significant role in how it is perceived. Poorly presented research may be unfairly judged because the way research is communicated greatly influences its evaluation. Therefore, this article aims to provide a straightforward explanation of the methods and conventions of academic article writing for young and aspiring researchers, as well as readers with little or no prior exposure to academic writing.
