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. Review: Great book for new scientists or older scientists who can't write - Thrilling read. If you're having trouble sleeping this is perfect for reading just before bed. If you're wide awake and want to learn how to write and publish a scientific paper, it works for that too. I'm a grad student and this book was recommended to me by a prof from my undergrad university and it was worth every penny. It helped me get better at analyzing the quality of writing by others Review: Excellent writing guide - This is an excellent companion to the book Scientific English by the same Robert A. Day but with Nancy Sakaduski as co-author. I was able to read completely both books in about two days each. Having published many scientific papers myself in past decades I recognize the important guidance that this book gives. I had to learn this stuff the hard way without such a guide.

Excellent writing guide
This is an excellent companion to the book Scientific English by the same Robert A. Day but with Nancy Sakaduski as co-author. I was able to read completely both books in about two days each.

required reading for graduate students, new scientists.
Outstanding. I have made it required reading for my graduate students. Anybody embarking on a career in science should read this book. I have been a professional scientist for 30 years, published 5 books and more than 70 peer-review journal papers, and I learned a lot from reading this work.

Consigliato
Lettura che dovrebbe essere considerata da chiunque si stia avvicinando oppure abbia iniziato un percorso di dottorato, accademico oppure è interessato all'editoria. Spiega molti aspetti, stili, terminologie che spesso vengono date per scontato o si acquisiscono per esperienza diretta. È un must da avere sempre a portata di mano al posto di ChatGPT!

Excelente libro
Es un buen libro para aquellos que quieren aprender como escribir un articulo cientifico, lo compré por que me lo solicitaron en clase y valió el dinero invertido. En algunos temas no es tan profundo, pero en todo caso, vienen referencias complementarias al final para consultarlos.

Solid presentation of advice along with relevant examples.
Got the book yesterday and immediately went through the first 9 chapters in one sitting. Logical presentation of material and easy to comprehend. The length of each chapter is just right, neither too long to get bogged down by details, nor too short and start looking for other books. Useful for ready reference. Will finish remaining chapters as needed. It is interesting to note that each chapter surely makes me want to read further! My first impression : this book is indeed one the best books I have in my personal library. The only minor issue is that Amazon delivered it without a bookmark, which I usually get with my previous orders.
