Someone once told me that you (as a writer) are only as good as your worst publication. I think the point of that statement is that you should not submit a paper unless you have put your best effort into writing it. The quality of a paper is often a reflection of the amount of time you spent planning and writing it. As detailed in this Commentary, writing for publication is a not a single step but a process that includes planning, writing, submitting, revising, resubmitting, and proofing. Developing good writing skills involves seeking mentors and opportunities to write. However, if you have the passion or desire to publish, it is possible to develop the "write" skills.
有人曾告诉我，作为一名作者，你的水平取决于你最差的作品。我认为这句话的意思是，除非你已经尽了最大努力，否则不要提交一篇论文。一篇论文的质量通常反映了你在规划和写作上所花费的时间。正如这篇评论所详述的，发表论文不是一个单一的步骤，而是一个包括规划、写作、提交、修改、重新提交和校对的过程。培养良好的写作技巧包括寻求导师和写作机会。但是，如果你有发表的热情或愿望，那么发展“写作”技能是有可能的。
