How to Write and Publish a Scientific Paper

This is a good book to read before publishing your first paper (or writing your first thesis if you are unsure of what to write). Some more technical details and writings suggestions. You don’t have to do everything the books discusses, and it may not go the way the authors describe, but still a good read to get an idea of what the publishing process looks like. Nothing like going through it yourself.

This book is a real classic! The writing is clear and simple, and the humor makes for very light reading. This book explains clearly and easily all the sections of a scientific paper and offers tips that will aid in writing and publication. The new edition also deals with other types of scientific writing such as blogs, theses, book reviews, etc.

I love this book! I just finished writing my first manuscript and I used this to help me. Day and Gastel are slightly sarcastic, which makes reading this more enjoyable. Not only are there chapters on how to write different sections of a paper, but chapters on how to write to the public and the use/misuse of English.

Book was repetitive and didn't really give me much tips that I didn't already know. But still a good helper to have handy just in case. Package was delivered on time and unharmed as well.

I good book that is a great guide at writing scientific papers

The book is really good. Your professor will provide you directly with what they expect in your scientific writing, but this book will help you answer some of the questions that may lie "in between the lines." if you want to perform better overall on your lab reports, this book would be a good investment. I recommend this seller to anyone.

This is overall a great book for anyone who is looking to hone their science writing or someone who is just beginning. Easy read and provides good examples. I bought it for my senior thesis course in college and it has helped me better understand my own writing process. Would recommend.

Have referred to this book in both earlier and the latest editions many times over the years as a science professor. Great instructional source for teaching basic writing skills to graduate students, postdocs and even experienced scientific writers.
