Writing A Journal Article

There are a variety of factors and important considerations that contribute to writing a journal article. It is important that you understand how to write for academic purposes as there are different types of journal writing, and not all writing styles are sufficient or appropriate for certain audiences. There are a few keys to writing for academic journals that should be recognised, these will be highlighted below:

Academic formality

It is important for you to remember that academic writing is very formal. It is not the same as writing a short story or poetry. Understanding this will allow you, as the writer, to make sure that the tone of the written piece is very professional and free from the use of clichés, jokes or personal anecdotes.

Writing quality

Journal article writing is analysed for its writing quality. It is very important that you take the time to make sure that such aspects as spelling, grammar and format are correct. Academic pieces that have numerous errors will not be taken seriously.

Correct citations

Effective academic journal writing should always be supported by citations and references. Correctly citing your sources is extremely important when writing for academic purposes as it shows that the proper credit is given to the individuals that were used throughout your academic piece for support of subject matter.

One of the most important aspects of academic journal writing is the writing quality.

The content for academic writing should be well identified by the topic. The reader is expecting that the content matter will be related to the topic. Likewise, when you place subtopics within a journal writing piece, the content should match the subtopic. There should be an obvious flow to the article. In fact, in most cases, someone reading your academic piece for specific information should be able to go to a subtopic and obtain all the information that is needed.

The structure of the journal article is also a part of the writing quality. It would be very hard for people to understand what you are writing if the structure is lacking. Proper structure within an article allows you, as the writer, to effectively communicate ideas about a particular topic. Likewise, proper structure also enables the reader to access information efficiently. The ability for others to access information in your journal writing piece is also very important if you desire for it to be published.

The goal of a journal article is to inform an audience about a particular topic in a very professional manner. Academic journal writing calls for:
  1. Presenting your information in a manner that is simplistic enough for others to read and understand while still having the tone of an academic piece.
  2. Presenting your ideas clearly when writing an academic piece.
  3. Being concise, without being completely stripped of the necessary facts that are needed to support your topic.

Making Your CV Stand Out

A thorough CV check

Your CV is often the first glimpse a prospective employer or recruiter will gain when it comes to the ins and outs of your professional life. Use your CV as your chance to stand out and showcase your skills and abilities.

Format and design may vary between industries and personal preference, but if you take the time to tailor your CV to every role you apply for and follow our golden rules, your CV should be finding its way to the top of the pile.

  • Contact Information

It’s essential to include your contact details on your CV, without these how will employers get hold of you? A phone number and email address should be the minimum – but make sure your email is professional, when it comes to your CV first impressions really do count.

  • Headline

Your CV should start with a short statement that outlines who you are and exactly what you can offer. Highlight your skills and attributes that you can bring to the job. This is your chance to sell yourself as the perfect candidate for the role.

  • Previous Employment

Write in reverse chronological order of your previous places of work. Include concise details of what the job entailed and the skills you learnt – relate these to the job you are applying for to show you are more than capable. Generally, it is better to include more detail in recent positions.

  • Spelling and Grammar

Do a thorough CV check for spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. Get a friend to do a CV check in case you have missed anything as a simple spelling error can be costly.

  • Up-to-date

It is better to keep your CV up to date then to include gaps leaving employers to wonder why and what you have been doing. Review your CV on a regular basis with a CV check to add in any skills or experience you may have gained.

  • Skills

Tailor your CV for every role you apply to. Focus on the skills, experience and qualifications you have that relate best to the job you’re applying for.

  • Pictures

A good rule is to leave a picture off your CV, if you really think that it is required then make sure you choose a professional picture – the same goes for your LinkedIn profile!

  • Font and Format

Whilst you want your CV to stand out from the crowd it is best to keep to an easily readable format with uniform text and minimal colour. If you work in more of a creative industry where you want to showcase your design skills, then a separate portfolio could be supplied.

  • Achievements

Employers want to understand the value that a potential employee can bring. By stating clear and quantifiable achievements it can help to make your CV stand out. These can be put at the top of your CV or as a sub header on your different positions.

  • Length

One of the biggest CV turn-offs we hear from employers is an overly lengthy CV. The key to CV length is to tailor it to your experience – a CV of 1 or 2 pages in length for a graduate may be right, however there is nothing wrong with a CV of 3 to 4 pages for a seasoned professional.


Punctuation Rules

The basics

Punctuation marks are symbols which organise the structure of written language, and indicate intonation and pauses to be observed when reading. Punctuation marks are also used for clarity and to avoid ambiguity. Eg. “woman, without her man, is nothing” has a different meaning from “woman: without her, man is nothing”…

This is a summary of some basic punctuation rules:

  • Full stop, or period (.)

A full stop is used at the end of a sentence:
She stood up and went away. She was furious.

It is also commonly used for abbreviations:
Co. (Company)
M.P. (Member of Parliament)

  • Question Marks (?)

Question marks are used at the end of direct questions:
Where do you live?
Are you crazy?
Did you do the homework?

They are also used at the end of tag questions:
You will help me, won’t you?
He likes soccer, doesn’t he?

  • Exclamation marks (!)

Used to indicate strong emotions:
She’s so beautiful!
What a nice girl!
How interesting!

Also used after interjections
Oh! It’s awful.
Hi! What’s up?

  • Commas (,)

Commas are used between items in a series or list. The last two items of the series usually do not need a comma between them. They are separated by “and”.
I like spaghetti, fish, pizza, and couscous.

Commas are also used between adjectives or adverbs:
I’d like to have a big, German car.
She speaks slowly, quietly and eloquently.

After the street address and city, in an address:
83 Ducie Street, Manchester.

Before or after direct speech:
He said, “I hate being treated like that.”
“I’m sorry,” she replied.

Before a coordinating conjunction (for, and, but, or yet, so).
He woke up late, so he had to drive to work.

  • Semicolons (;)

Semicolons are used instead of a full stop or period to separate independent sentences:
They woke up early; then they went jogging.

Use a semicolon to separate items in a series when those items contain punctuation such as a comma:
They visited the Eiffel Tower, Paris; Big Ben, London; and the statue of liberty, New York.

  • Colons (:)

Use a colon to introduce a list:
He visited three cities last summer holiday: Madrid, Roma and Athens.

To introduce an idea or an explanation:
He had one idea in mind: to see her as soon as possible.

To introduce direct speech or a quotation:
The secretary whispered in his ear: “Your wife is on the phone,”

  • Dashes (-)

To introduce parenthetical information:
I put on a blue jacket – the one my mother bought me – and blue jeans.

To show an afterthought:
I explained to him my point of view – at least I tried!

  • Apostrophes (‘)

Use an apostrophe to indicate a missing letter or letters in a contraction.
I’m fed up with his stories.
Use an apostrophe plus the letter “s” to show possession.
My brother’s girlfriend is such a sweet girl.

  • Quotation marks (“ “)

Quotation marks are used to quote speech, sentences or words.
She said, “I love you.”
