Nice resource for students new to writing research papers. Aimed at Biology students put many of the principles are valid for engineering and science.

"A scientific paper is a written report describing original research results whose format has been defined by centuries of developing tradition, editorial practice, scientific ethics and the interplay with printing and publishing services. The result of this process is that virtually every scientific paper has a title, abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results and discussion."

"Over the last seven years, I've read perhaps four hundred papers in computer science and math. Thirty or so were well-written. These anomalies aside, extracting meaning from most of the papers was like sucking a camel through the eye of the proverbial needle upon which a thousand angels were dancing on my head, if I mix my metaphors right."
