DEVELOPING THE CONCEPT

Before putting pen to paper, you must first build the concept of the paper in your mind.

We can imagine how you feel. You have spent months, if not years, researching. You are faced with mounds of notes, computer print-outs, analyses, tables, graphs, papers. Where do you begin?

There is so much to say, so many complex inter-related activities to describe, so much literature to read. However will you find the time to bring it together in a paper? And how can all of this be reduced to a few pages for publication?
