Resumen
Caring for the form of the article (i.e., the scrupulous respect to the specific instructions of the journal; good distribution of sections; a clean, well organized and coherent prose) is the best attribute to enhance the scientific merits of the work, and ultimately promote the acceptance, readability and ensure that the message of the study reach the readers. This article reviews the key of "form" to improve the quality of scientific publications. These are 5 qualities to be cultivated (fluency, clarity, conciseness, simplicity and attraction), 5 defects to be avoided (artifice, emptiness, claim, monotony and ambiguity), and 5 common mistakes that we must consider (abuse acronyms, foreign words, barbarisms, redundancy and grammatical problems of morphology and punctuation).
