EDITORIAL REVIEW



To be useful, scientific research needs to be explained clearly to others—to colleagues, to administrators, to foundations and governmental bodies, and to the public. This thoroughly revised edition of the classic How to Write and Publish a Scientific Paper gives beginning scientists and experienced researchers alike practical advice on writing about their work and publishing what they write. The core of the book consists of a how-to guide to writing and publishing research articles for scientific journals, explaining every step of the process, from choosing a suitable journal for your work to presenting the results and citing references. In addition to the information on writing for scientific journals, this book provides additional advice for the scientist of the 21st century. All of this practical information makes How to Write and Publish a Scientific Paper the essential guide that scientists need for succeeding in the competitive environment of today. Outside North America, a cloth edition is available through Greenwood International UK and a paperback edition through Cambridge University Press UK.

ABOUT THIS BOOK

USER REVIEWS

Unlike any Textbook you Will Ever Read
~ Written on Feb 26, 2010. out of users found this review helpful.

This book is a great resource for any student starting out in the field of science. Not only does it provide great information about writing scientific papers, but it also includes some good stuff about conferences and employment. This book is funny, informative and a great alternative to the usual textbooks offered in this type of class. I would highly recommend it to anyone in any scientific discipline.

Highly desirable for any scientist

This is a good description of the process of writing a paper. I am teaching some general concepts for a Master course on Chemical Engineering Research (from how to search literature to how to publish results). Although I have published more than 100 papers and have been working as editor of a main journal, I found interesting ideas. The most important pint is that this book provided in a very well organized way useful suggestions for each part of a scientific paper, and thus helped me a lot to prepare my lecture on how to write a scientific paper.
This book should be at the library of any science or engineering school and should be a recommended lecture for any PhD student.

Good resource for scientists

This is a good book, especially for the novice. I really liked the brevity of the chapters -- this makes it an excellent reference material for scientific writing. The writers do have great sense of humor, which makes the reading more enjoyable.

I gave it 3 stars because I had much higher expectations for this book after reading all the great reviews. I would strongly recommend a book of its kind to everyone in the sciences, but it does not have to be this one.

A must read for anyone wishing to publish or present.

I first read this text over 25 years ago and it is still excellent. I regularly buy copies for my trainees and each generation finds it a most valuable tool not only to help prepare a publication but also it is a great help for both the beginner and the more experienced when they need to present a paper.

very good help

the book has been very helpful not only for writing papers, but also for the correct writing of my thesis dissertation. It has lots of useful advices and examples, which are presented with a great sense of humor. I really had fun reading the book. Strongly recommended for anyone who's involved in scientific writing.
