Now thoroughly updated and expanded, this new edition of a classic
guide offers practical advice on preparing and publishing journal
articles as well as succeeding in other communication-related
aspects of a scientific career. Writing and publishing journal
articles are essential aspects of a successful scientific career.
Unfortunately, many scientists find the process of communicating
about their work intimidating and confusing. Now in its eighth
edition, How to Write and Publish a Scientific Paper teaches how to
apply clear focus, good organization, and simple, straightforward
language to write papers as well as communicate effectively in many
other scientifically related applications. By providing practical,
readable, and sometimes humorous guidance, this book enables
researchers to gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence to
succeed in communicating about their work. The authors not only
guide readers in the craft of scientific writing-broken down into
the separate tasks of writing the respective sections of a
scientific paper and then publishing the paper-but also address
important related psychological, ethical, logistical, and cultural
considerations in communicating about science. Chapter topics
include composing (and requesting) recommendation letters, writing
grant proposals, providing peer review, editing one's own work,
preparing oral presentations and poster presentations, and working
with the popular media. This is an essential resource for
researchers-both native and non-native users of English-with
limited experience writing scientific papers, such as graduate
students, postdoctoral fellows, and early-career faculty members.
Provides practical, easy-to-read, and immediately applicable
guidance on preparing each part of a scientific paper: from the
title and abstract, through each section of the main text, to the
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 and writing proposals Presents an insightful
insider's view of how journals actually work-and describes how best
to work with them
