Publishing engineering research papers not only can facilitate funding but can also boost academic promotion. When researchers apply for an academic position or a new job, they must demonstrate their productivity based on the number and quality of their published articles. However, writing engineering research papers is a difficult and daunting task, especially for beginners. Many books and articles explain and provide guidelines on how scientific papers should be written, organized, and structured, including those that explain techniques to avoid imperfections and those that provide instructions for submission and publishing. However, they rarely provide unwritten rules for achieving success in the field of engineering. The aim of this paper is to focus on simple suggestions, useful tips, and unwritten rules for writing engineering research papers. This article provides a brief guide for new writers.
