Regarding outlines:

Here's the academic reference on outlines: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/general/gl_outlin.html

Here's a site that describes why an outline can help you.  I suggest you adopt this approach (I liked the status report on the sections).  http://aerg.canberra.edu.au/pub/aerg/edulertz.htm#nine

Here's an outline you might want to start with: http://www.mri.jhmi.edu/~craig/software/paper_outline.pdf

Here's a physicist's take on what goes in your paper.  Some students have found this helpful: http://www.mri.jhmi.edu/~craig/software/paper_outline.pdf

Here's a template in Microsoft Word, with section headings and some reminders (you'll like using Document Map, if you haven't before):  http://www.esf.edu/for/yanai/publishing/paper_template.doc
