Writing is a vital component of a modern career in scientific research. But
how to write correctly and effectively is often not included in the training
that young astronomers receive from their supervisors and departments. We offer
a step-by-step guide to tackle this deficiency, published as a set of two
papers. In the first, we addressed how to plan and outline your paper and
decide where to publish. In the current second paper, we describe the various
sections that constitute a typical research paper in astronomy, sharing best
practice for the most efficient use of each of them. We also discuss a
selection of issues that often cause trouble to writers, from sentence to
paragraph structure, the `writing mechanics’ used to develop a manuscript. Our
two-part guide is aimed primarily at master’s and PhD level students who are
presented with the daunting task of writing their first scientific paper, but
more senior researchers or writing instructors may well find the ideas
presented here useful.
