"Scientific research is not complete until the results have been published. Therefore, a scientific paper is an essential part of the research process. ...the writing of an accurate, understandable paper is just as important as the research itself. ...the words in the paper should be weighted as carefully as the reagents in the laboratory. ...the scientist must know how to use words. Therefore, the education of a scientist is not complete until the ability to publish a paper has been established."

- Robert A. Day
How to Write & Publish a Scientific Paper
