A Dozen Handy Tips for Your Next Paper...

1. It is recommended by the authors that the passive voice be avoided.

2. Subjects and verbs even when separated by a word string has to agree.

3. Writing science carefully, dangling participles must not appear.

4. If you reread your writing you will find that a great many very repetitious statements can be identified by rereading and identifying them.

5. Avoid using "quotation" marks "incorrectly" and where they serve no "useful" purpose.

6. The naked truth is that editors will read the riot act to any Tom, Dick, or Harry that uses cliches; avoid them like the plague.

7. In formal scientific writing, don't use contractions or exclamation points!!

8. If we've told you once, we've told you a thousand times, a writer who uses hyperbole will come to grief.

9. In scientific writing, and otherwise, avoid commas, that are, really, unnecessary.

10. Subjects and their verbs whenever you notice and can do so should be placed close.

11. Remember it is better not to, if you can avoid it, split an infinitive.

12. Proofread your manuscript carefully to be sure you didn't any words out.

These came from a wonderful book I just got called "Successful Scientific
Writing" by Matthews, Bowen, and Matthews (1996)
