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://mri.brechmos.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/22/how-to-organize-a-paper/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
