How to write a Journal/Conference Paper:

Or
How to Present Technical Results
(Greg Grudic’s sure fire recipe ☺)

When writing a technical paper, it is generally a good idea to start with a presentation.
Once you have written a 30 to 50 minute presentation that you feel effectively motivates
your results and presents them in a convincing, coherent manor, the process of writing the
paper should be trivial - simply transcribe what you say in your presentation into a
document!

Here is an outline for a successful presentation:

Part 1: Specify what problem (topic) is being addressed.


• Why is the problem (topic) interesting!

Part 2: What is the current state of the art of solutions? Or, how is the topic currently
being addressed in the literature?
• Why is the current literature inadequate?

Part 3: What is the proposed solution?


• What is the motivation?
• Why is it interesting?

Part 4: Discussion.
• How does the proposed solution compare with others?
o In theory?
o In practice?
• What are the weaknesses?

Part 5: Conclusion.
• Summarize proposed solution and why it is interesting.
• Summarize weaknesses.
• Identify open questions.
