This essential guide provides scientists of all levels with practical advice on writing about their work and getting published.

Thoroughly updated throughout, the authors of this classic guide put their advice into practice by keeping the book as clear and simple as possible. They provide early-career scientists and experienced researchers with practical support on writing for different audiences and getting published. This ninth edition retains the key material – including preparing text and graphics, publishing research papers, writing grant proposals, rights and permissions, and a wealth of advice on writing style – while new material includes new guidance on navigating copyright, presenting online, identifying co-authors, creating visual abstracts, and writing in English as a non-native language. Valuable appendices provide a ready reference on words and expressions to avoid, SI prefixes, useful websites, and a handy glossary. Postgraduate students and working scientists will want to keep How to Write and Publish a Scientific Paper at their desks and refer to it at every stage of writing and publication.
