Abstract

Scientific authors must become familiar with the key elements of scholarly writing and research to ensure ethical publishing. They should be proficient in writing the different sections of scholarly articles. Their knowledge of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods procedures must be sufficiently deep, including how to develop research questions and hypotheses. The authors must aim to be flawless when drafting scholarly articles to facilitate a deeper understanding of the extracted concepts. They should avoid duplicate publication, plagiarism, and salami science. When conducting research, the authors should ensure protection of human subjects and avoid bias.
