How to write an IJSEM paper?

The title page should include a short statement about what the paper is about. Provide any new names that are included in the text. It should also include the names of the authors, name of the laboratory, address of the laboratory, address and e-mail address of the corresponding author, a short title, and the GenBank accessions number. The abstract should be a concise summation of the results of the paper and the names of any new taxa proposed (if applicable). The introduction should be brief and give background information for the study. The Methods section should include in detail novel details of tests performed in the study. Standard techniques should not be included such as the plates were streaked using a loop in a clean bench. The methods section may include the names of the suppliers for the chemicals or tests used if it may impact the results. Details that should be included in the methods section include how many times tests were done. The results and discussion sections should include clear subheadings to organize the categories of the studies. It should be noted as to whether results are mean values or not and how many times tests were duplicated. Tables, figures, and the descriptions should be included in the end of this section. The type strain and other strain should be included in this section if new taxa are being described. Tables should only show differential data. Tables and figures should be comprehensible without having to look at the text. DNA base composition should be written as G+C in mol% only to the nearest significant digit. References should be in the name/date style. The author’s last name is written first followed by first initial.
The pros of writing an IJSEM paper are that it presents data in a way that is universally understood by scientists. The format is clear and easy to follow and progressively moves through the study from the beginning to end. The research is presented in a clear and concise way which makes reading the paper less time consuming and more easily understood.
The cons of writing an IJSEM paper are that it is difficult to format data in the way that IJSEM demands. For new scientists, writing an IJSEM paper may be difficult due to its restriction on creative writing techniques. Extra information is emitted from the IJSEM paper in order to make it concise, but for a person who is used to writing paper’s for English classes this may be a difficult task.
