How to write an article


Part 1: Start by choosing your topic and conduct a bibliographic research to gather as much information as you can about your topic.

Tip: Scientific and statistical researches are always a great choice for articles.

Part 2: Create bullet points that sum up your bibliographic research and then decide the order in which you are going to present and analyze the points.

Tip: Always mention your sources, for copywrite reasons.

Part 3: Write your intro. Make sure that its interesting and that it gives enough information about the topic and what its referring to.

Tip: Don’t reveal any specific information about your points but make sure you mention whether the subject of your topic is controversial or universally accepted as a fact.

Part 4: The main body of your article should consist of the presentation of your points or the summary of your bibliographic research as a whole.

Tip: Always present more than one perspective on the topic or argument.

Ex.  1. Dr. Jacob claims that vitamin C can prevent people from catching a cold.
       2. Dr. Steve argues that there are no evidence to support that claim.

Part 5: Conclude your article by summing up the points.

Tip: In the conclusion you can add questions that your research did not answer or asking the opinion of your readers about the matter. Asking the right questions is a great way to indirectly express your personal views on the topic.


Ex. “Is the pharmaceutical industry trying too hard to convince us about the benefits of taking vitamins daily? Are there any valid evidence or data proving the benefits of vitamin C?”
