How to write and publish a research paper in physical education: a step-by-step guide for the first time

You want to write and publish your first research paper in physical education, but you don't quite know where to start? We will try to help you from here! Our goal is to help you reach your goal. Without losing academic rigor, but under a prioritized didactic approach, we accompany you in this challenge that begins when facing a blank page for the first time. To this end, we share in this brief but intense essay, three sets of information for you to launch yourself directly into the challenge. First, we show a selected collection of general recommendations for scientific writing. Second, based on the anatomy of an article, we present a step-by-step guide that sequentially addresses the content of the different sections, exemplifying the information in each of them. Third, we describe the publication procedure and aspects to be taken into account, from the initial submission to the final acceptance, including the communication process with the journal.
