How to Write a Great Research PaperSimon Peyton JonesMicrosoft Research Cambridge, United KindgomAbstractWriting papers is a core research skill for any researcher, but they aren’t easy. Writing is notjust a way to report on great research; it’s a way to do great research. Yet many papers are sobadly written that, even if they describe excellent work, the work has much less impact than itshould. In this talk I’ll give you seven simple, actionable guidelines that will, I hope, help youto write better papers, and have more fun at the same time. I don’t have all the answers—farfrom it—and I hope that the presentation will evolve into a discussion in which you share yourown insights, rather than a lecture.
