Hello everyone, we at steemSTEM have a message for you
This post is designed for both newcomers and to the aspiring members of the steemSTEM community. We are going to address important aspects regarding the overall quality of a post that go beyond scientific writing technicalities, and we’ll also demonstrate how to engage in this community. As will be shown, this entails more than having some science-tagged-posts being curated by our crew.
What Does it Involve, Then?
Let’s start with a question. Why are you posting? If the answer is ‘money’ to you, then it is obvious to us, too. There is a distinct difference between posts of somebody struggling to come up with ideas to get rich and somebody who has been inspired to teach or engage in the community with original ideas. The most successful authors are those who are both driven by reward, and passionate and consistent with their work (more on this later).
The level of commitment and pride you have for your blog content is essential. Your reputation and followers are the by-products of this and the upvotes always come next. Yeah, in short: the community comes first. The rest follows.
So, just in case you got this order of events mixed up, please reassess it.
Commitment and dedication
What do you blog about? Plants, animals, mental health? Whatever it is, take your time to do some research on your topic. This is after all how your readers will eventually follow you.
This might take a while, but keep in mind you are not the only one in this situation - this always makes one feel better! The goal should be to create a document that you are proud of - which will likely take anyone quite a bit of time!
But what is research, if not searching on Google? Try Google Scholar or other academic sources. Don’t be afraid to personally email researchers on the subject you’re interested in. They are almost always more than happy to engage with you, give you permission to use their images and offer even more than you asked. It could even be an opportunity to bring a new professional into the community.
Dig Deeper
Often when I write about something on the fringes of science, I find that a slight detail has been disputed in a paper saturated with evidence to the contrary. These aren’t things to ignore, embrace it and discuss it, even if it is your area of expertise. There’s nothing wrong with a subject being wrong or controversial, as long as you rationally discuss it and provide evidence whilst opening up discussion.
Pressing the POST button
Now, that you have finished writing your post, which might have taken you several hours or even days to put together, you are ready to press the POST button. Yeah!
As soon as one presses the POST button, the obsession begins: ‘Will I be upvoted?’ ‘Why aren’t they upvoting me?’ I think ‘Mine is better than theirs, yet they got the big upvote?’
It’s tough.
But, here is the good news: the steemSTEM team has a group of curators, scouring the platform searching for all the material related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics.They are real knowledgeable people, looking for quality content in order to reward them better.
But it is a small team with limited voting power. 6 months ago it was easy to upvote every single post, 24/7, that deserved it with time to spare to scour the lesser-known corners of Steemit to find new potential. Now things have grown exponentially, this is impossible, yet each curator still reads and proof-reads twenty (or more) 500-2,000 word posts a day.
But there are much more than 20 authors, and so a higher level of expectation is a must, and authors need to strive to be the best.
So what are the minimum requirements that we look for?
Originality : In case you are not sure of how to be original when writing a science post, it is simple: Write using your own words. This equivalently means making more of an effort than just giving a twist here and there to that article you saw in psychologytoday.com or on BBC Planet.
Well Written, Clear English: If your reader can’t clearly understand the points you are trying to make, then your post is not effective!
Well Formatted Posts: In short, make your content easy-to-read and follow for everyone. Add headings, find nice images (and reference their sources), and do not make your posts too long, or too short either!
Use A Language You Are Comfortable With: Curators are all seeing and all knowing. They even have magic tools! If you feel it’s too difficult to write in English, you may try to translate an article about global warming from a Spanish source and try to sell it as your own original work. This will most likely leads to flags and reports to steemcleaners, and your Steemit career could be over, just like that!
Instead, we have a growing, trusted community of different nationalities, from Nigeria to Italy, France and Venezuela. If you persevere, these communities will allow you to grow in your first language.
If your English is average but needs improvements, consider using tools such as Grammarly or even, you know, friends from the aforementioned communities.
References. Please reference everything; all the sources of information for your post, as well as all the images. This is not that hard and will only bring you credibility. We all stand on the shoulders of giants, so give them a little credit.
These are the minimum objective requirements, and you are capable of meeting them, don’t you think? We think so too. So please keep them in mind.
However, the bigger we grow, the more selective we have to become, so how do you shine above the rest?
Well, once you’ve mastered the minimum requirements, there are, of course, other things to consider: practicality, originality, personality, style and other subjective factors all lead to a more beautiful and worthwhile post.
Practicality
Sure, a 12-page report on the physical dimensions of spines on the leaves of Western Sarahan cacti or whatever is important in some academic circles, but what value has it to the steemstem community readers, and to a larger extent, Steemit itself? If the answer is ‘nothing’, perhaps you should reconsider the topic. OR if you still choose to proceed, temper your expectations for the amount of attention it will get.
Originality
We already discussed using your own words to make original content, but instead of just finding a topic and re-writing it, perhaps try to find a new angle, find some of the latest research and discoveries. Don’t just put other content into your own words (but of course do ensure that you use your own words!), make the content itself your own!
Personality
You could even include how the information you discuss has a personal impact in your life. This brings followers in because they get to know you and want to follow you, rather than the information you provide. Writing in your own style gives us curators more confidence that it really is you too, rather than some report copied from some obscure website, which then wastes more time as we work on finding the original source material.
Style
Don’t be afraid to make the post fun or humourous. Don’t be scared to mix it up a bit with some creative spin, fictional characters debating for example, or using your other talents to make it shine, be it music, art, photography or whatever. The more unique it looks, the quicker and longer it catches everybody’s attention.
In short, authors should ask themselves ‘is it valuable’ or ‘is it interesting to the casual reader’, or even more importantly, ‘is it understandable?’
Beyond the Post
There is more to this opportunity. As we said at the beginning, being a member of the Steemstem community is not only about writing a post and having it upvoted by the team. It is first and foremost about sharing STEM knowledge, educating and eradicating superstitious beliefs.
There are many ways to become a member of the steemSTEM community besides posting quality material. You can for instance engage in healthy and adult debates, take part in friendly chats in the steemSTEM chat channel, or even motivate other members of the community through commenting on their posts.
The attraction of Steemit, for many, is the financial reward. However, the posting/expecting to be paid for it pattern can be a frustrating one, particularly for newcomers.
So, please try to look beyond this. This is a view that will only isolate you from the bigger picture that the steemSTEM community is: **a family of science lovers who support one another with mentoring, comments, jokes, upvotes, quick words on the chat, collaborative works and so forth.
And, of course, why not … a community that sets an example to all the other ones within the Steemit platform.
Thank you!

Very well written post.
I believe as more users find their way to steemit, something similar to this should be found at the Trending page at all time, or at least routinely.
Perhaps consider adding a standardized link to this post at the end of the Distilled posts? That way, you could continuously direct readers curious about how they can get a steemSTEM vote, or be featured in the Distilled post, without needing to repost it.

I still have quite a bit to learn about the navigation and use of Steemit.
I am a radiologist and have been thinking of some posts regarding some basic information / misinformation / opinions about various medical imaging procedures and the state of medicine in general.
Is SteemStem an appropriate TAG for such information, or should it be limited to more technical scientific ideas?
Thanks for your part in making this platform diverse and interesting.
I love to see some of the more creative stuff here, and as an outlet for my art and photography ideas it has so far been great fun. I look forward to perhaps sharing some ideas on my experiences in the medical field also at some point.

Welcome to Steemit. I look forward to following your posts and maybe having some discussion. I am a rheumatologist but I am mostly posting on my great interest in paleopathology (which includes xray studies of fossils). The son of a fellow researcher told me about Steemit and I think it is a good platform to get others interested in something I am somewhat passionate about.

It has been quite a challenge to write about science topics. Trying to find the right balance between what may engage a general audience and making the post as scientific as possible. In my last post about graphene, it was not easy to pull away from orbitals of atoms and decentralized electrons to continue to talk about graphene and keep the post on topic. It leaves one wondering about completeness of a post. The difference is really a presentation to a room full of scientists vs a post for everyone else. It takes practice and skills to get there. Great guidelines for all.

I get what you're saying, and balancing it can be pretty difficult. I often find myself reading over a post before I should publish it when I realize that I use a work that most people probably won't understand. So then I spend some time to explain it, but quickly realize that the post is far too long and complex for regular people to enjoy, so then it's back to editing it once more!
One thing that's worth noting is that I personally feel much better about this balance now after having written on Steemit for a little over a year; I don't get stuck in the editing process for as long anymore, and the balancing comes more naturally now that I'm more tuned with my audience.

What a great post. I wish I would've posted my first few articles with the @steemstem tag, but I am still learning. I'm writing about my journey with psychedelics and the proven science behind it all. I always make sure to post all of my references, since this topic is tricky to write about it, tends to scare people away. But that's why I'm here! To hopefully educate and to share my own experiences, so others who may feel lost or frustrated with lacking therapies can at least investigate alternatives. I'm not concerned about making money, if I was, I'd write about something else. So, from now on I know the one tag that'll have to be placed for sure.

I have understood the whole message. Of course this is inseparable from the quality of control we need to become more mature and real. I strongly agree with it because of something new with a refresher format. I admit there are several perspectives of people on this platform, especially financially and it's easy to see on the quantity of article products. I am a writer and try to read other articles in STEM environment for comparison purposes, of course I want to be better than other people's posts. In my Place, I have a small farming group of several people. They have been the jury for my article on the level of application understanding. yes, I am very lucky to have them as the fairest judges. What has been explained by STEM team above I can understand. I have commented under Mr. @justtryme to response Indo-STEM. about the full Indonesian language use option in Indo-STEM. I have been discuss this with our curator very seriously. But, the finally I think depending on their own, if they want to be more productive with the quality of course they should be aware to start arrange the Indonesian structure language and learn English. This is the science environment every material demanded clarity. Thanks STEM team for everything to make us more better.

I think something that this hit on big is that writing a post on steemit isn't the same as writing an academic paper and can allow more of a personality.

This part is something I will like to make some additions.
Articles in academic circles have their places here as well. I mean making it more understandable to the community as well as globally, than it would be reported in a scientific article. I have seen posts having over 30,000 views with 10 upvotes. Thats means, many people outside steemit read the article. This will in one way or the other bring people to the platform. This means the content brings value more than to steemit alone. I will like to say that an academician that probably comes accross a research work summary posted on steemit, will develop some curiosity for the platform. Summarily, the value should be to and beyond steemit.
In a PhD forum, it was advised that your research articles should be blogged. This is because you can reach a wider audience this way. I think steemit is a place to also blog such research articles, since it can give access to even get such articles behind paywall, directly from authors.
Am a delighted to have been part of this great community since I joined steemit. Great work by steemSTEM curators.

L true, one thing I enjoy challenging myself with is reading a seemingly boring paper, such as the one where researchers found a mouse up a hill, and writing about it in a way that shows how interesting it actually is when you take out the professional jargon.
You're right that this should play a bigger role in academia, and with papers getting increasingly unreadable over the decades, we're only going in the wrong direction

So I just the steemit community, and would be focusing on writing and posting stem articles.
I found this post really helpful as it explains basically all you need to enjoy the steemit commumity particularly the stem commumity.
I liked the fact that it emphasized the other benfits one stands to gain aside the monetary one.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

SteemSTEM is a nice idea and I laud the efforts of the team!
To help improve post quality, I suggest building a dedicated website for SteemSTEM. The posts would still be visible on SteemIt, but can go through a process of review. Luckily, there is one open-source software that might be easily adapted for this purpose.
Utopian.io is a project that encourages open-source software development using the STEEM platform. People post about their open-source contributions and a team of moderators review these posts, suggest edits, and finally approve or reject the post at the end of review. In general, I think the quality of posts in utopian is pretty good.
The good news is that Utopian.io is itself open-source. So you could repurpose it for SteemSTEM with a bit of work.
Let me know if you would be interested in exploring this idea further.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
That is an interesting idea. I will forward it to the rest of the team.
Now my opinion :)
What would be the gain of a website external to Steemit as everything is already available here? Moderation, of course, but with communities being soon available through steemit, we will have all what we need already here.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Ah, I am new here, and not sure what "communities" feature will bring, although I have heard the feature being mentioned before.
If "communities" helps with moderation within the site, that would be cool, and probably sufficient for SteemSTEM!

As for the word count of the posts ... I can only speak for myself, of course. As a general rule, I find a 2800 post quite long. I try to keep my writing between 1300 and 2000 (max. max.). But, I do suggest you to ask for a second opinion about this one. This would be a great discussion to have in the chat! Don't you think?

Did you become a moderator & curator, too? Or has this been you all along and I just didn't notice? :)
Warm greetings from Germany

Hi Erika :) I am sorry, but I am not sure what you meant by the following:
And answering your question: no, I am neither a moderator, nor a curator. Just like yourself (and all the others here) I am a passionate member of the community. In case you are curious why I am replying to the comments it is just because this post was partially written by me :)

ahhh, thanx for clarification - I had the impression that I might have missed that you are a curator (because some of them say that in their header of their blog - which I already have missed out:)
But now I understand that you were co-writing! LOL, sometimes I miss things and feel stupid.
... Like, for example, that an acquaintance next to me walks on the sidewalk and I notice him only after a while, although he has been at my side for a whole five minutes.
Still language issues appear once in a while.
Good night from me!

@steemstem, thank you for sharing your guidelines with us all. I was introduced to your group on my introduction post. It has definitely been a challenge since I started. I've posted about technology in regards to my experience and have also tried switching it up as well. I am not giving up and will do my best to create more content that will help others. Will definitely keep writing about STEM as much as I can because it is my passion. Thank you!

thanks to your support @steemstem I am more interested in science and research my career, I am a student of civil engineering and can not imagine how much my knowledge has grown thanks to the post I do daily and the motivation that this community gives us. I speak a bit of my experience, at first I was afraid, I did not know how to make a good publication that would be nice for many people, I was afraid to put something funny or an image related to the topic, now dedicate my time and read this wonderful article, I am full of encouragement and enthusiasm to continue giving the best of my research with respect to engineering, mathematics, chemistry, astronomy and biology. They are my favorite topics. Thank you for the support you give to the Steemit community! Now to work and strive more to achieve the objectives

Thanks for all the guidelines and info . I always like to bring science related topics into general public more understandable way rather than educating only scientists(which also very useful of course ) .As a newbie i will certainly book mark this post to make sure my articles follow the general outline of steemstem standards.

I have been getting my feet wet this past week, and cruising many of the feed sights. I agree whole heartedly with quality, understandable content. I have made only a couple posts this first week, because as you say, it takes time to think about it all. Thank you for such a "to the point" post.

This post has helped me understand how to create content much better than as of now. TBH I am not in the science or medical field, apart from being diabetic type one for the last 46 years with no long-term complications. I have my own way of dealing with my condition and perhaps one day I might just might post up my dealings. One defo piece of advice I would say is if I can live with this condition from 1970 with all the medical advances since then anyone can.
Thank you once again steemstem @nitesh9 and @rockingdave for this great post.

Dear @steemstem Team,
first I want to say I think it is great what you are doing and one of the reasons I decided to be part of Steemit! You make sure, high quality prevails.
Second, I would really like to be part of the steemstem-community and I tried to get into the Stemmstem-Channal about two weeks ago, but didn't receive an E-Mail yet. Do you know if this is normal? Is the server overloaded or do you kind of need to "accept" me?
I would be really grateful if you could give me a short answer!
Thanks a lot, yours @Co-co

This is a great post. Reading it I just had the idea, that what you are trying to accomplish here is somewhat similar to what TED does in a video format. Science and other important topics presented in a brief, engaging and easy-to-understand way... I love it!

Good afternoon, I think the notes you mention are very important, because the first thing we look for with our publications is money, but also some of us want to make contributions to the community with our publications and it is difficult to see them and then we can discuss them. a constructive way
I understand that there are a small number of curators as mentions and it is my case that I have published several publications, by my criteria of interest and I have not received comments, I am from Venezuela and I try to write a language in English that can be understood and well written, although it can happen that the grammar can change the content a bit.
I am already more clear with the information and I will try as far as possible to adjust to these recommendations.
I also make the invitation so that I can see some of my publications based on the contents of interest of this group and, therefore, receive comments and recommendations if that is the case.
Thank you very much for this valuable information. Regards
