How to Write a Low-Error Manuscript? Experiences and Recommendations from an Experienced Reviewer

I have been reviewing articles for scientific journals for several years and I keep noticing frequent errors. I wish to use this experience as short tips for authors. I will examine here only typical publications concerning a study, no surveys, letters to the editor, pro- and contra- series. The following points are important: Motivation, Title, Authors, Summary/Abstract, Key Words, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Figures, Tables, Language, Various/Formalities and a few summarizing final comments.

Abstract

I have been reviewing articles for scientific journals for several years and I keep noticing frequent errors. I wish to use this experience as short tips for authors.

The following points are important: Motivation, Title, Authors, Summary/Abstract, Key Words, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Figures, Tables, Language, Various/Formalities and a few summarizing final comments.
