Q: How do I form a paper?
I am currently a doctoral student in the field of biology. They have asked us to form [a] paper, but I don’t know how to write it. Can you help me please? Thank you.
Looks like you have just started off on your PhD, and have been tasked with writing your first (internal) paper. Worry not; we have many resources on the site to help you through. However, we’ll share only two for now, which is all that you’ll probably need to get started. :-) The first is on the IMRaD structure, which is the way most academic papers are structured. The second is a compilation of all the relevant resources from the site on writing a scholarly paper. It should more than suffice your need. In fact, you can keep referring to it as you go further down your PhD and research journey. Here you go then.

And of course, all the best for your first ever academic paper!
