From Theory to Manuscript: Effective Strategies for Writing Scientific Articles in Geosciences

Abstract

This article provides a detailed guide on writing scientific articles in geosciences, covering everything from title selection to preparing appendices. An exhaustive literature review was conducted, identifying best practices and critical recommendations for each section of the manuscript. The methodology included reviewing sources such as books, scientific articles, and practical guides and organizing the information thematically. The results underscore the importance of a clear and coherent structure, the proper use of figures and tables, and ethics in scientific research. The discussion highlights the relevance of scientific dissemination, the impact of digital tools, and the need for rigorous peer review. Finally, recommendations are offered for selecting the appropriate journal and increasing publication success. This guide is designed to help geoscience students, technicians, teachers, and novice researchers improve the quality and visibility of their manuscripts, contributing to the advancement of knowledge dissemination in geosciences.
