It is a distinct pleasure to be invited to prepare a short Foreword
to Biomedical Research: How to plan, publish and present it, by
William F. Whimster. Ninety years have elapsed since T. Clifford
Allbutt, the Regius Professor of Physic at the University of
Cambridge, published his c1assic work of 1904 Notes on the
Composition of Scientific Papers. Small in size, but deep in
wisdom, it remains a remarkably useful, if slightly old-fashioned,
book, still weIl worth reading. Since 1904, and particularly in the
last 25 years, there has been an avalanche of books on scientific
style. Medawar has aptly observed that "most scientists do not know
how to write, insofar as style betrays I' homme meme, they write as
if they hated writing and want ed nothing more than to have done
with it. " Whimster's book has a broader objective than most of
this genre. Unlike Allbutt, who was addressing in the main those
who were writing their theses to obtain the MD, Whimster writes for
the young medical scientists who are planning and writing up an
account of their research, either for pub lication in scientific
journals, or for presentation of the scientific material at
meetings. Whimster, a scientist and an experienced long term
science editor, has written an up-to-date version of an earlier and
very successful volume, Research, How to Plan, Speak and Write
About It, edited by C. Hawkins and M. Sorgi."
