This book eases the task of converting research work into a manuscript and covers the recent
developments in publishing that often stump budding researchers.Few researchers in the
biomedical sciences are trained in the essential skills of reporting their results and they
seek help in writing a paper that will be acceptable for publication in the 'right' journal
and in presenting their results 'effectively' at a meeting. As well as covering the basic
aspects of preparing manuscripts for publication the book discusses best practices and issues
relating to the publication of biomedical research including topics such as peer-review
authorship plagiarism conflicts of interest publication misconduct electronic publishing
and open-access journals. With more than two decades of experience in conducting workshops on
writing scientific papers the editors have brought together the expertise of 29 authors from
seven countries to produce this one-stop guide to publishing research in biomedical
sciences.This book is intended for young researchers who are beginning their careers and wish
to hone their skills and understand the rigors of research writing and publishing.
