Description
The publications game can seem tricky: knowing where to start, how to plan and draft a paper, who to pitch it to and how to present it can appear difficult enough. With advent of e-publishing and ever-tougher regulatory frameworks surrounding research, the picture can seem even more intimidating and bewildering.
In this third edition of his classic guide, Tim Albert demystifies 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. Doctors, medical professionals – and scientists with a non-medical background – will find this an essential aid in giving their research the platform it deserves.
