Abstract
Objective. Writing a scientific manuscript is one of the most important tasks facing the academician, and may also be one of the most daunting. Materials. The essentials of any paper include a description of what is known, an assessment of what is unknown, a clear statement regarding the question and hypothesis being addressed by the current study, and a discussion and summary of new information that has been learned as a result of the study. Conclusions. A formulaic approach is provided to guide the author through this process.
