Best Practices

Structure Tips:

  2. Introduction: Start broad, then narrow to your specific problem
  3. Methodology: Be detailed enough for reproduction
  4. Results: Let data speak first, then interpret
  5. Conclusion: No new information, only synthesis

​
Common Pitfalls to Avoid

  • Don’t use too many packages (conflicts can occur)
  • Avoid manual spacing (\\[1cm] etc.) - use proper LaTeX spacing
  • Don’t hardcode references - use \label and \ref
  • Check journal requirements for specific formatting
