Knowing how to prepare, write and publish high-quality research papers can be challenging for scientists at all stages of their career.

This manual guides readers through successfully framing and presenting research findings, as well as the processes involved in publishing in learned journals. It draws on the author's wealth of practical experience, from working in academic research for over 40 years and teaching scientific writing in over 20 countries, to gaining insights as a journal editor.

Well-written and logical, it provides clear step-by-step instructions to enable readers to become more effective at writing articles, and navigating difficulties related to journal submission, the review process, editing and publication. It comprehensively covers themes such as publication ethics, along with current topics including Open Access publishing and pre-print servers.

This is a useful, user-friendly guide for graduate students, early career scientists, and more experienced researchers, particularly in the life and medical sciences.
Industry Reviews
'Denys Wheatley has addressed an important issue - the writing up of findings. His manual is comprehensive, concise, and timely. It is truly an excellent piece of work. The manual will not only benefit native speakers wishing to publish scientific papers, but also non-native speakers. I will make this manual mandatory reading for all young scientists in my department before they attempt to write up their results.' Wolfgang H. Goldmann, Friedrich-Alexander-Universitaet, Erlangen-Nuernberg, Germany
'Professor Denys Wheatley's Manual is a must-read for any Ph.D. student, researcher or scientist writing and publishing scientific papers. Not only is it the perfect primer for a first-time scientific writer, but also a complete guide for professionals. As a French-speaking biochemist, I did not encounter any difficulties in understanding this manual, and that is why it is certainly a stepping-stone for my research career.' Nadia Bouktit, University A Mira of Bejaia, Algeria
'This much-needed book is clear, succinct and comprehensive, it gives the inexperienced (and indeed the more experienced) scientific author sound practical guidance at every step in the process, from planning and drafting the manuscript ... It is this comprehensiveness and common-sense practicality that distinguishes it from other guides to scientific writing. I would happily recommend it to research students and post-docs, and I wish it had been available when I first embarked on a career in science.' Mark P. Henderson, Formerly at Napier University, Edinburgh
''If I had known that before ...'. It meets the high needs in writing good scientific papers and getting them published ... A 'must read' for young scientists as well as for instructors.' Laurent Jaeken, Karel de Grote University College, Antwerp University Association, Antwerp, Belgium
'This is a very useful document ... Thank you for this wonderful and highly useful material.' Kelath Murali Manoj, Satyamjayatu: The Science and Ethics Foundation, Kerala, India
'Your manual on Scientific Writing and Publishing is really brilliant! ... From my 50-year experience in science, it is very much needed for young and even middle-aged scientists.' Jekaterina Erenpreisa, Full Member of the Latvian Academy of Science, Head Tumour Cell Biology Laboratory, Latvian Biomedical Research and Study Centre, Riga, Latvia
'I certainly believe such a guide is sorely needed.' Tom Ireland, Editor, The Biologist, Managing Editor, Royal Society of Biology
'I have considered this Manual carefully and conclude it is a valuable and very much needed.' James S. Clegg, Molecular and Cellular Biology, University of California, Davis, USA
'This manual ... is long overdue; it will be an extremely useful guide and reference ... at all levels from beginning students to experienced investigators.' Cynthia Jensen, University of Auckland, New Zealand
'The book is well organized, clearly edited ... it is easy to find in it the required information.' Attila Miseta, Dean of the Medical University, Pecs, Hungary
