Writing Scientific Research Articles: Strategy and Steps

particular, I draw to your attention the following comments by the referees.
Referee 1:
•     The Methods section does not give sufficient information, particularly
      about the sampling methods used.
•     The results in Tables 1 and 2 are closely related and can be combined
      into a single table.
•     The conclusion that there is a strong positive correlation between the
      number of organisms and soil salinity needs a stronger statistical basis.
•     The results in Figure 3 are very preliminary - this really requires another
      survey. If this is not possible, the Figure should be deleted.
