@MushtaqBilalPhD Thank you! When I copy the information, the citations don't carry over. In the document where I paste the information it just says Citation 1 citation 2, but even there the citations don't carry over. Please help!

Trump talking casually about violating the Constitution and deporting legal US citizens… this should be on the front page of every newspaper in the country.

After reviewing over 200+ manuscripts as a journal editor, I've noticed a pattern: papers that combine robust research with clear writing get accepted 3x more often than those with equivalent research but poor presentation.
17 genuine bits of advice for research paper writers
(I wish someone told me about number 10 earlier)
1. Active voice sells ideas better than passive
2. Your first draft should be awful → that's normal
3. Live for your own truth, not for other scholars' approval
4. Write the methods section before researching
5. Figures and tables matter more than word count
6. Break complex ideas into simple formal language
7. Citations should taste of truth → use them thoroughly
8. Your abstract is your paper's movie trailer
9. The discussion isn't a results remix → it must add value
10. Tables whisper wisdom that paragraphs shout gruffly
11. No one reads your paper start to finish → design for skimming
12. My best writing happens between 10 PM-1 AM
13. Your title is not unrelated to your citation success
14. Tweak tenaciously → cut 30% of your first draft
15. Strong verbs always beat fancy adjectives
16. Make text-to-speech AI your read-aloud buddy
17. One paragraph = one idea (no exceptions)
(This is exactly how I get quality papers accepted in quality venues)

Thank you Passaic County! My John @johnwbartlett was elected to his 5th term as County Commissioner in Passaic County. John's running mates were also elected, so it's a clean democratic sweep for Sheriff and County Commissioners!
