for you , you'll be able to see different writing styles and sometime you'll be able to see points being made if you  have the same arguement\nfor the other person you could correct their mistakes, see what not to do, show your skills as a writer.

In a point-counterpoint essay, you examine two sides of the same issue. The essay should investigate both sides in a non-biased way.

totally depends on what your research is about.\n\nAnd what audience you want to reach.\n\nAlso a lot of journals are peer reviewed and will only take really novel stuff.\n\nIf its cutting edge medicinal chemistry - then maybe j. med chem.\n\nif its totally dazzling science of any type then nature or science\n\nif its materials chemistry then either j. mat. chem. or chem. mater\n\nif its inorganic chemistry then maybe angewandte chemie or inorg. chem or dalton or .....\n\netc.......\n\nthere are so many journals and it really depends a lot on the novelty (i.e. if its different or unusual or just plain undiscovered). If you're only reporting on a slight modification of something done by someone else then it can be hard to publish in a "cutting edge" journal and there area whole host of "lower tier" journals but I'm not going to list them and annoy any specific publisher.\n\nif in doubt ask a colleague where you work or a supervisor/lecturer

A creative opening is the best way to catch interest in any written work. If you catch someone in teh first sentence, you'll have them for the entire report.  AN interesting line from one of teh Characters in teh book or a quote by teh book's author are good ways to go.  You could also try asking a qeustion in the beginning that you answer throughout the report.

Not a professor myself, but I know a few instances where it happens.\n\nSometimes getting a high-ranking co-author can be very beneficial to a young scientist - it gets the paper into better journals, more fame, etc. \n\nBesides, scientific community is not that large, and people like to talk about each other's work, so if somebody merely stamped their name on the paper, it will become evident pretty soon.

Depending on the journal there may be strict guidelines for submission.  Check out the journal of interest and determine their requirements.  Also, if it costs you, the author, money to publish a paper then I would avoid that journal.  It is free to publish in any respectable journal.

The main advantages I can think of are:\n*  You get an idea of others  levels of expertise.\n*  Right through life you will be faced with some form of competition, even job applications are a competition of sorts.\nSo practise is a good thing.\n* Doing well in a competition can increase your self image. \n\nI can only think of one disadvantage - losing! \nBut even that is an experience.

It depends on where the review is stored.  If it only on your PC, that is easy.

It would help to know a topic.  Do you have to write on something specific, or anything you like?  Give us more details.  keep in mind that when writing an editorial, you are giving your opinion and you may be surprised/hurt when you get a negative response.

A scientific journal (like "Science" or "Sky and Telescope"). I do suggest, however, that you let a professor read it before you submit it. Even if you have a brilliant idea, they will throw it away if it's not properly presented.

Both have their advantages...........and disadvantages.

An expository essay gives information to the reader. It does not tell the writer's opinion. Its purpose is to transfer knowledge from the writer to the reader.

Law reviews accept submissions from anyone. Their editorial boards (mostly, in the case of both the main and secondary law reviews of US law schools, of students) select the articles to be published. These may be sent directly by the author(s) to a single or several journal(s) or via an electronic distribution system ( http://law.bepress.com/expresso/ ) to many of them.\n\nThe chances of publication are great if the article is written by a "name" law professor (or, occasionally, a professor in an allied field). Some articles -- more often "notes" -- are student-written. The bulk of articles will have been written by law professors ("publish or perish"). Some are written by practicing lawyers, but this is a minority.\n\nVirtually all foreign (European anyway), and a few US journals are edited by a law professor or staffer of a law-related organization. Examples: the American Journal of Comparative Law, the American Journal of International Law, the International and Comparative Law Quarterly.\n\nThe editorial boards of premier law reviews consist largely of those law students who had the best first-year results. Many law schools now have secondary law reviews on a specialized subject: taxation, international law, Islamic law, women's law, environmental law -- anything.\n\nYou can go to law reviews' own home pages to find their submission rules. There are several lists of law reviews, with links, such as: http://jurist.law.pitt.edu/lawreviews/\n\nStudent editorial panels tend not to be adventurous as to subject or point of view except when the author is a noted authority such as a leading law professor or former senior government official. In that sense, professionally-edited journals are better, although they too must rely on specialists to judge the value of a submission on an unusual subject or with a contentious point of view.\n\nAlthough few American law graduates undertake research degrees, those who do -- research LLMs, or SJDs; or PhDs in a related subject such as "public law and goverment" -- may publish extracts from a dissertation as one or more law review articles. \n\nOverseas, where law is an undergraduate subject, a law teacher will more commonly have a PhD. The graduate study process in Europe is typically 1 (UK) or 2 (France, etc.) years for the LLM and another 2, 3 or 4 years for the PhD. In the USA law study is 3 years for a first degree (formerly LLB, now JD; it's 4 years for part-time "night" law school) and one year for the LLM (usually a "taught" degree, compared to, say, an M.Phil. or research LLM program in the UK) and another year or two for the SJD (or JSD -- doctor of juridical science; a comparatively rare degree).\n\nThere is a strict hierarchy of law reviews, often judged by how often articles from that review are cited in law review articles.\n\nNot directly relevant to your question, but virtually all US law reviews are digitized since the 1980s and available on professional database services, mainly http://www.lexisnexis.com (including http://www.lexisnexis.com/academic/universe/ ) and http://www.westlaw.com . Historical issues of most reviews have been scanned and can be downloaded by subscribers from http://heinonline.org/

Writing a Persuasive Essay.\n\nIn persuasive writing, a writer takes a position FOR or AGAINST an issue and writes to convince the reader to believe or do something.\n\nhttp://www.orangeusd.k12.ca.us/yorba/persuasive_writing1.htm\n\nIn persuasive or argumentative writing, we try to convince others to agree with our facts, share our values, accept our argument and conclusions, and adopt our way of thinking. \n\nhttp://www.studygs.net/wrtstr4.htm\n\nWriting Tips \n\nThis page contains a collection of tips for essay writing and editing.\n\nhttp://www.essaytoday.com/writingtips.shtml\n\nWriting a Persuasive Essay\n\nhttp://www.cerritos.edu/fquaas/resources/English100/persuade.htm\n\nProblems in Writing Persuasive Essays: No Opinions.\n\nhttp://modena.intergate.ca/personal/gslj/noopinions.html\n\nWriting a Persuasive Essay\n\nIn a persuasive essay you are going to try to convince the reader that your point of view is best.  To accomplish this, you must chose a topic which is clear and to the point and one which has more than one side that can be debated.  It is important that you understand the other sides of the position so that you can give strong reasons why your way is best.  In your essay, you will only present one side.\n\n Like all kinds of five paragraph essays, there is a specific format to be followed.\n\nhttp://www.susq-town.org/byer/New%20Reading%20Themes/writing_a_persuasive_essay.htm\n\nDefinition: Persuasive writing works to convince the reader that a point of view is valid or persuades the reader to take specific action. It is based on a topic that is limited in scope, manageable, and debatable; a topic about which there could be more than one point of view. \n\nhttp://coolschool.k12.or.us/courses/101100/lessons/persuasive.html\n\nBasic Structure\n\nhttp://members.tripod.com/~lklivingston/essay/\n\n\nFREE ESSAYS and LETTERS.\n\nfree online resource for students of literature.\n\nhttp://www.freeessays.cc/free-essays-listing.shtml\n\nhttp://www.mytermpapers.com/\n\nhttp://www.123helpme.com/\n\nhttp://www.cyberessays.com/\n\nhttp://www.allfreeessays.com/\n\nhttp://www.bgfl.org/services/foi/templates.htm\n\nhttp://uk.geocities.com/essays4free2000/index.html\n\nhttp://www.megaessays.com/\n\nhttp://www.midlandit.co.uk/education/index.htm\n\nhttp://www.thepaperexperts.com/personale\n\nhttp://www.freeforessay.com/\n\nhttp://members.tripod.com/\n\nhttp://www.academicdb.com/\n\nhttp://www.4freeessays.com/\n\nhttp://mrbraiman.com\n\nhttp://uk.geocities.com/essays4free2000/index.html\n\nGood luck\n\nKevin, Liverpool, England.

Practice, practice, practice!  \n\nWhen you're writing a paper, have some of your classmates and/or professors read over it and give you feedback.  Make changes according to their feedback as you see fit.  Eventually you'll start to see the corrections without someone else telling you what to change.  I think you'll find that process will improve your writing skills a lot.\n\nRead scientific papers (in peer-reviewed journals).  As you read more of it you'll get a better feel for it, and your writing will start to sound more like the published papers.
