Writing a scientific article and being able to get it published in an important journal is the last step before considering your study project completed. Scientific publications have a well-defined structure, aimed at greater communication efficiency. Whoever is preparing a paper to be published must therefore know these rules in order to get accepted his article. The aim of this review is therefore to provide authors with practical advice on how to prepare the manuscript. Ethical aspects which are a precise responsibility of the authors, reviewers and publisher, and which concern the entire publication process are also considered. At the same time, we give to readers the keys to assess the quality of a publication. The review is structured into three parts: preparation of an article, how to write the various types of articles and finally the path from sending to the magazine to the publication.
