The concept and structure of scientific papers are explained. This study includes the analysis of the main sections in a scientific paper: introduction, methods, results, discussion, and conclusions, as well as the connecting sections: title, abstract, key words, acknowledgments, references, and annexes. It provides recommendations on writing these sections, preparing the manuscript, and the steps to accomplish in the publication process. In addition, based on interviews to six researchers, this paper points out limitations and provides recommendations on writing and publishing a scientific paper.
