How to write and publish quality papers and that too in a quality journal, is a puzzle that every scholar and researcher, particularly in their early careers, struggles to solve as early as possible. Here, I want to outline, in brief, how one can work toward writing and publishing a good paper. The writing style and structure of a paper depends on the type of manuscript, which can be broadly be categorised as empirical, and non-empirical. Empirical papers, which use empirical data to answer the research questions and/or testing hypotheses, are the most used form of published work in scientific journals. The types of non-empirical papers include conceptual, theoretical, review-based, case study, perspective, notes, commentary etc.
