Abstract

• 150-300 words
• No citations
• Summarize: context, problem, approach, findings, implications
• 4-5 sentences

\begin{abstract}
Problem: ...
Method: ...
Results: ...
Conclusion: ...
\end{abstract}

Introduction

• Establish context for the research
• Review relevant prior work (cite key papers)
• Identify gap or problem
• State research questions/objectives
• Outline paper structure

Key phrases:

• "In recent years, ... has gained increasing attention"
• "Despite significant advances in ..., several challenges remain"
• "In this paper, we propose ..."

Methodology

• Describe research design clearly
• Include sufficient detail for replication
• Use past tense, passive voice acceptable
• Number equations, reference figures/tables

Key phrases:

• "The dataset consists of..."
• "We evaluate our approach using..."
• "Parameter settings follow..."

Results

• Present findings objectively
• Use figures and tables effectively
• Report statistical significance
• No interpretation (save for Discussion)

Key phrases:

• "As shown in Figure 2, ..."
• "Results indicate that ..."
• "The difference is statistically significant (p < 0.05)"

Discussion

• Interpret results
• Compare with prior work (cite)
• Discuss implications
• Acknowledge limitations
• Suggest future work

Key phrases:

• "These findings suggest that ..."
• "In contrast to Smith et al. [10], we observe ..."
• "One limitation of this study is ..."

Conclusion

• Emphasize contributions
• State practical implications

Key phrases:

• "In this paper, we presented ..."
• "The key contributions include ..."

LaTeX Markup Guidelines

Equations

Equation numbers in parentheses:
\begin{equation}
    y = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x + \epsilon
    \label{eq:linear}
\end{equation}

Figures

\begin{figure}[htbp]
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{figures/fig1.pdf}
    \caption{Description of figure content.}
    \label{fig:overview}
\end{figure}

Tables (use booktabs style)

\usepackage{booktabs}  % Add to preamble

\begin{table}[htbp]
    \caption{Descriptive Statistics}
    \label{tab:desc}
    \begin{tabular}{lccc}
        \toprule
        Variable & Mean & SD & Range \\
        \midrule
        X & 10.2 & 2.1 & 5.0--15.0 \\
        Y & 8.7 & 1.9 & 4.0--13.0 \\
        \bottomrule
    \end{tabular}
\end{table}

Citations

Single: \cite{smith2020}
Multiple: \citealp{smith2020,jones2021,wang2022}
Textual: \citeauthor{smith2020} found that...

Academic Voice Guidelines

• Use precise, specific language
• Avoid vague quantifiers ("many", "significant", "good")
• Prefer active voice: "We propose..." over "It is proposed..."
• Use hedging appropriately: "suggests", "indicates", "appears"
• Avoid first-person if journal prefers passive

Common Errors to Avoid

1. Citation inconsistency - Check all \cite{} keys exist in references.bib
2. Figure placement - Use [htbp] for flexibility
3. Math spacing - Use , ; : for thin/thick spaces in math
4. Reference format - Elsevier uses numbered references, not author-date

Integration

Workflow Pipeline

This skill works as part of a larger writing pipeline:

paper-outline-generator → latex-paper-en → academic-review

• Input: Topic, research questions, or outline from paper-outline-generator
• Output: LaTeX-formatted section text, ready for academic-review
• After completion: Consider running /review on the written section

Multi-Section Coordination

When writing multiple sections:

1. Write Introduction first (sets structure for rest)
2. Write Methodology next (methodology informs results)
3. Write Results
4. Write Discussion and Conclusion last

Usage Examples

• /write introduction for deep learning medical imaging paper
• /write methodology section about transformer architecture
• /write results comparing baseline methods
• /write 撰写methodology章节，关于深度学习模型架构
• /write 根据以下大纲撰写introduction部分
