An oldie (but new to me) from the Annals of Improbable Research (Vol. 2, No. 5): How to Write a Scientific Paper.
AbstractPosted by rv at August 12, 2005 01:31 PM to science!We (meaning I) present observations on the scientific publishing process which (meaning that) are important and timely in that unless I have more published papers soon, I will never get another job. These observations are consistent with the theory that it is difficult to do good science, write good scientific papers, and have enough publications to get future jobs.
