Tekst op de achterflap: "The publications game can be a minefield. Knowing where to start, how to plan and draft a paper, whom to pitch it to and how to present it can appear difficult enough, particularly to the inexperienced author. Now, with the advent of e-publishing and ever-tougher regulatory frameworks surrounding research, the picture can seem even more intimidating and bewildering. -- In this fourth edition of this classic guide, Tim Albert continues to demystify the process of getting research published in characteristically clear and engaging style. From the initial brief to final manuscript and beyond, all is explained in jargon-free, no-nonsense and encouraging terms. -- Key features: - The only book that really focuses on how to write a paper rather than describe what the author should put in a paper in order to get published; - Shows time-pressed doctors how to accommodate writing alongside a busy clinical caseload; - Helps the inexperienced and experienced author alike to navigate successfully the requirements of digital publishing and the ever-changing research regulation; - 'Down to earth' approach to successful publication -- Doctors and medical academics, other health professionals and basic scientists with a non-medical background will all find this an essential aid to publication success, thus giving their researcher the wider platform it deserves. -- About the author: Tim Albert has spent two decades as a journalist in the UK and then another two travelling around the world helping doctors and other health professionals to develop their writing and editing skills."
