How to write journal and conference paper?

I learned this when I went to Amanda Spink workshop. I make a summary from her slide to share it with you. The difference between journal and articles (beside the length) is journal focus more on literature review while conference focus more on results section.

• Big picture: Motivation - why important/crucial?
