Thoroughly updated throughout, this classic, practical text on how
to write and publish a scientific paper takes its own advice to be
"as clear and simple as possible." "The purpose of scientific
writing," according to Barbara Gastel and Robert A. Day, "is to
communicate new scientific findings. Science is simply too
important to be communicated in anything other than words of
certain meaning." This clear, beautifully written, and often funny
text is a must-have for anyone who needs to communicate scientific
information, whether they're writing for a professor, other
scientists, or the general public. The thoughtfully revised ninth
edition retains the most important material-including preparing
text and graphics, publishing papers and other types of writing,
and plenty of information on writing style-while adding up-to-date
advice on copyright, presenting online, identifying authors,
creating visual abstracts, and writing in English as a non-native
language. A set of valuable appendixes provide ready reference,
including words and expressions to avoid, SI prefixes, a list of
helpful websites, and a glossary. Students and working scientists
will want to keep How to Write and Publish a Scientific Paper at
their desks and refer to it at every stage of writing and
publication. Provides practical, easy-to-read, and immediately
applicable guidance on preparing each part of a scientific paper,
from the title and abstract to each section of the main text to
acknowledgments and references Explains step-by-step how to decide
to which journal to submit a paper, what happens to a paper after
submission, and how to work effectively with a journal throughout
the publication process Includes key advice on other communication
important to success in scientific careers, such as giving
presentations, writing proposals, and writing for a general
audience Presents updated information throughout and new material
on timely topics like copyright and presenting online
