Unanswered Question of the Day: What's the best way to write a research paper?
Sometimes I think I've heard of every trick to motivate me to get writing and write a great paper, but every once in awhile someone surprises me with a new method. One that I heard recently from a classmate is that he first writes a paper about the paper he wants to write about. Any suggestion here is game, from where to write, under the influence of what drugs to write, how to come up with ideas, how to edit and polish, etc.
