How to Write and Publish a Scientific Paper: 6th Edition March 8, 2007 M. Garcia (Wisconsin) 8 out of 9 found this review helpful
I think this book is great even if you already have experience writing scientific papers and have published. It certainly opened my eyes to things I should keep in mind when writing for a journal. I'd recommend it to anybody. I'd also like to add that I am currently taking a scientific writing course and the professor mentioned that in his opinion, this is the best scientific writing book he has come across.
Best book for publishing scientific results July 27, 2007 J. Felipe Ortega Soto (Spain) 8 out of 9 found this review helpful
This is the all-in-one reference every newcomer (and experienced) researcher should read to learn how to effectively write scientific papers.
The writing style is extremely clear and concise, presenting the most important concepts and advices in a very straightforward way. Contents are organized in very short chapters, so you can immediately get the picture and start improving your skills. It also has many funny stories and comics that help you enjoy the reading.
In brief: if you want to master in good scientific papers, budget proposals, writing your doctoral thesis, good presentations... This should be your first choice.
Final note for non-native English speakers/writers like me: you will find invaluable references at the end of the book about how to use adequate connectors and expressions, as well as a whole chapter specifically devoted to how to write science in English as a second language.

I love this book, because it gets right to the point without any foreplay. The author is brief and tells you exactly what you need to do. It covers everything from writing papers to CVs to oral presentations. Very useful!
More than excellent! December 20, 2006 Averroes (USA) 5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I find this book, how to write and publish a scientific paper, is required for all scientists. The book simply covers everything that you need to communicate in scientific field. The book is well-written in rational order and provides answers for every question related to scientific communications. I do recommend also Scientific English by Dr. R. A Day along with this book.

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.
