Writing a scholarly article

Budget

Each proposal must contain a budget for each year of support requested, unless a particular program solicitation stipulates otherwise. The amounts requested for each budget line item should be documented and justified in the budget justification as specified below. The budget justification should be no more than three pages.

The budget should include:

• Senior Project Personnel Salaries & Wages Policy
• Procedures. The names of the student, faculty, and the estimated number of full-time-equivalent academic-year, summer, or calendar-year person-months for which funding is requested per year must be listed.
• Travel. Travel and its relation to the proposed activities must be specified and itemized by destination and cost. Funds may be requested for field work, attendance at meetings and conferences, and other travel associated with the proposed work.

In order to qualify for support, however, attendance at meetings or conferences must be necessary to accomplish proposal objectives, or disseminate its results.

• Publication/Documentation. The proposal budget may request funds for the costs of documenting, preparing, publishing or otherwise making available to others the findings and products of the work conducted under the grant. This generally includes the following types of activities: reports, reprints, necessary illustrations; cleanup, documentation, storage and indexing of data and databases; development, documentation and debugging of software; and storage, preservation, documentation, indexing, etc., of physical specimens, collections or fabricated items.

• Direct costs – costs that are directly attributed to the administration of the project
• Indirect costs – administrative costs that cannot be directly attributed to a specific project or an activity.

A scholarly article is a standard document. Its’ arrangement is fairly standard and serves to organize the contents of the manuscript:

• Title
• Author name(s) and address(es)
• Abstract
• Introduction
• Main body of the article
• Conclusions/Summary
• Acknowledgments
• References Cited
• Illustrations and Figure captions
• Tables

Look through some scholarly articles in your area of interest. Do all of them have the same structure? What are the main sections of articles? Write them out.
