About the Book

A good research paper is more than just a clear, concise, scientific expose. It is a document that needs to go beyond the science to attract attention. There are both strict and less definable norms for doing this, but many authors are unaware as to what they are or their use. Publishing is rapidly changing, and needs to be explained with a fresh perspective. Simply writing good, clear, concise, science is no longer enough-there is a different mind-set now required that students need to adopt if they are to succeed. The purpose of this book is to provide the foundations of this new approach for both young scientists at the start of their careers, as well as for more experienced scientists to teach the younger generation. Most importantly, the book will make the reader think in a fresh, creative, and novel way about writing and publishing science. This is an introductory guide suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and professional researchers in both the life and physical sciences.

About the Author :

He has over 30 years of experience working in both fundamental and applied biology, studying the ecology and evolution of infectious diseases and cancers. He has published over 100 articles in leading journals, and co-edited numerous special issues and books. Michael co-founded Ecology Letters in 1998 and served as its Chief Editor until 2009.

Review :
The book is designed as a textbook for advanced undergraduates and up, in the physical and life sciences, but will be equally useful to the individual or independent researcher... University libraries should acquire, as many users will want to consult it. Even with my experience as a scientist, writer, reviewer, and editor, An Editor's Guide to Writing and Publishing Science is an excellent resource that covers everything about publishing. Readers will appreciate the condensed nature of the book, with chapters being direct and succinct, so that they can be read in a short sitting. It is a sad fact that the majority of young scientists are woefully poor at both writing and verbally presenting their work and their careers can suffer as a consequence. This book is recommended reading for all those involved in presenting their results both verbal and written.
