Abstract

In scientific writing, whether it is a research paper, thesis, or dissertation, it is important to investigate a problem that has not been tackled before-that is, to fill a gap in the current knowledge. The first question an editor or reviewer asks after seeing a submission is ‘Why did the authors do the work, is the subject original?'.
