Writing a paper

Structuring a research paper

Abstract, keywords, sections, appendices, and splitting a long document into files.

The usual parts

Most papers have a title block, an abstract, keywords, numbered sections (Introduction, Related work, Method, Experiments, Conclusion), references and sometimes appendices. \appendix switches the numbering to A, B, C.

\begin{abstract}
We propose …
\end{abstract}
\noindent\textbf{Keywords:} ECG, denoising, deep learning

\section{Introduction}
…
\appendix
\section{Extra results}

One file per chapter

Long documents are easier to work on in pieces. Put each section or chapter in its own file and pull it in with \input{sections/intro}. In CiteTeX, pressing Compile while a chapter file is open shows a quick preview of just that part.

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\input{sections/introduction}
\input{sections/method}
\input{sections/results}
\bibliography{references}
\end{document}
