How to Write and Publish a Scientific Paper by Barbara Gastel
An essential guide for succeeding in today's competitive environment, this book provides beginning scientists and experienced researchers with practical advice on writing about their work and getting published. This brand new, updated edition also includes a new chapter on editing one's own work, a section on publicizing and archiving one's paper, and updates on authorship, including information on new authorship criteria and on the author identification number ORCID. The book guides readers through the processes involved in writing for and publishing in scientific journals, from choosing a suitable journal, to writing each part of the paper, to submitting the paper and responding to peer review, through checking the proofs. It covers ethical issues in scientific publishing, explains rights and permissions, and discusses writing grant proposals, giving presentations and writing for general audiences.
I have been using and recommending How to Write and Publish a Scientific Paper throughout my career, starting with the earliest editionsNot only is this book thorough, instructive, and fun to read, it was a critical guide in helping me to prepare manuscripts and grant applications and to hone my ability to write clear, meaningful, and easy-to-understand text. I promote this book in the many grantsmanship presentations I give each year, and I have given copies to my many trainees and to the graduate students in the PhD training program I direct. * William C. Parks, PhD, Professor of Medicine and Associate Dean for Graduate Research Education, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA *
For almost four decades, first as a student and then a supervisor, How to Write and Publish has been my go-to resource for scientific writing. It is both informative and a joy to read; students-and academics-engage with it. It is comprehensive, and, critically, it has evolved through new editions, adapting to the ever-changing world of scientific communication. The 9th edition is no exception (for instance, it includes additions on e-publishing and the ethics of applying publication metrics). If your shelf has room for only one book on scientific writing, this should be it. * David JS Montagnes, PhD, Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Behaviour, University Liverpool, UK *
Implausibly thorough, clear, funny-everything you would want in a book on scientific writing! Follow its advice or beware the consequences... * Tara Gray, Author, Publish & Flourish: Become a Prolific Scholar and Associate Provost for Faculty Development, New Mexico State University *
How to Write and Publish a Scientific Paper is a highly desirable, up-to-date, and effective source for all the basic forms of scientific communication, essential to writing-in-the disciplines or scientific/professional writing courses and writing centers. As much for faculty as for students, it guides the reader through the whys as well as presenting the how-tos, all in readable, accessible prose. The book casts the writer in the role of decision maker-for example, not relying formulaically on IMRAD but explaining that it is one of many possible options for organization. Perhaps best of all, it promotes the basic truth that writing is essential to doing science. * Valerie M. Balester, Assistant Provost, Undergraduate Studies and Professor of English, Texas A&M University *
