Science and Technical Writing - an e-book about writing for peer-reviewed journals
Science and Technical Writing - writing articles for peer-reviewed journals
Publication in a reputable, peer-reviewed journal should be the goal of all researchers, as publication is the main means of disseminating the results or findings of what can often amount to years of research.
Career advancement these days is, to a large extent, dependent upon publication in reviewed journals. The applicant with an impressive list of published journal articles will be ahead of those with a meager portfolio of published work, or none at all to their credit.
The communication of scientific information is valued in our society. Technical information needs to be made readily available for market promotion. Results of clinical studies have to be conveyed to doctors and health care workers so they, and through them, their patients, can benefit from another's work. A botanist needs to report on a recent discovery - big or small - that will help another in their work. Decision makers consider new findings in relevant fields. Government decisions are often based on reports of a finding or a recommendation. The examples go on.
This book covers the basic principles of writing for peer-reviewed journals.
It will teach you the art of scientific and technical writing.
It asks what is technical writing, and considers the reader, multiple authors, patient's privacy, prior publication, and lots more.
To help you write your article for a peer-reviewed journal, this book shows you how to structure your article. There is ample guidance given in planning your article, breaking the material down by using headings, and the details that go into each section of your article - Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion and so on. There is a guide to reviewers and their role in publication - what they will be asked to consider, and the process your article will go through before acceptance by a journal, as well as information about using references and compiling lists of references.
This book will show you how to edit your article, and there is a comprehensive checklist so you can ensure your article should be much closer to that goal - acceptance for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
There is useful information about the use of illustrations, graphs and tables, and how to submit the data used to compile the graphs.
This book will be suitable for anyone wanting to write for peer-reviewed journals.
Science and Technical Writing is published as an e-book. It has 64 pages, and is published as a small guidebook in Flairnet's writing guide series of publications.
The book retails for $8.00 USD, and is available for immediate download from ebookmall.
