Biomedical researchers usually receive no training in the essential skills of reporting their results. They need help in writing a paper that will be acceptable for publication in the ‘right’ journal, and in presenting their results ‘effectively’ at a meeting. Besides covering the basic aspects of preparing manuscripts for publication, this book discusses best practice and issues relating to the publication of biomedical research. These include topics such as peer-review, authorship, plagiarism, conflicts of interest, publication misconduct, electronic publishing and open access journals.
The editors have more than two decades of experience in conducting workshops on writing scientific papers. They have brought together the expertise of 29 authors from seven countries to produce this one-stop guide to publishing research in the biomedical sciences.
