The article focuses on writing high impact paper for building a professional career. Writing and describing the work in a clear, concise, but interesting manner, moves a paper from being good to being exceptional. If the same experimental work is described by two different writers, very different levels of manuscripts can result. Great science when written poorly can be a good paper or alternatively, average science when written well can be a good paper. Sometimes when reviewing a manuscript, it seems that authors even skip the basic steps like using the "spell check" features in all word processing programs or confirming text referencing to the numbers in the list of references.
