Notes on writing papers. Mostly advice I've gotten from Ruofei and Dr. Varshney.


Tasks

Important tasks not to forget

  • Check all the references
    • Any symbols in title or accents in names
    • Try to make doi formatting consistent. Either all have URLs or all are DOI:.
    • Try to make sure citations are sorted in \cite{..,..}.

Figures

You can make figures in Powerpoint. However, make sure you change the color scheme from the default so it isn't obvious it was made in Powerpoint and it does not look low-effort.

You can also use Google Slides.
Export as PDF rather than a raster PNG/JPEG image. This allows text to be rasterized on the client and images to be full-resolution.

Video

You should make a 2-3 minute video explaining your project.
This can be done in Adobe Premiere.

Equations

Explain the motivation or derivation of an equation before showing it.

Grammer

Always make a pass on Grammerly.
