Frequently mistakes

cites/references writen in Harvard style (e.g. (John, 1987)) in place of the journal style (using [] brakets and numbering) - please see journal style for citing papers!
In a research paper should end the introduction section with the research aim and/or objectives;
Numbered figures, tables and equations should be refered in the body of the paper (this is the reason of the numbering);
Numbered sections should be refered in the body of the paper (this is the reason of the numbering);
A section cannot end with a table/equation/figure except for "Results" section; no exception for "Results and discussion";
A "Results" or "Results and discussion" section cannot contain results of others; only your results!
Give, explain and discuss mathematical equations only if these are part of the reseach (when were included in the simulation for example); for the rest of the cases give the reference to a textbook which contain the math.
Repetition of the information given in equations, tables and figures should be avoided;
Trivial calculations (such as 2+3=5) cannot be presented in a academic paper;
