If you want to shit out papers read other papers, see how they write, use complicated words but not to complicated because they stand out, find a method that you think will work and that you can understand apply it to something else boom you got your self a shit paper that actually might be useful by sheer luck while doing almost no work at all

Unironically this is how 99% of progress is made in real fields like metallurgy, food science, solid state physics before it went retarded, agricultural sciences, and so on. Just a lot of bashing rocks together in novel ways.

This just goes to show that /sci/ actually hates real science.
