Description

A good research paper is more than just a clear, concise, scientific expose. An Editor’s Guide to Writing and Publishing Science is a document that needs to go beyond the science to attract attention. There are both strict and less definable norms for doing this, but many authors are unaware as to what they are or their use. Publishing is rapidly changing, and needs to be explained with a fresh perspective. Simply writing good, clear, concise, science is no longer enough-there is a different mind-set now required that students need to adopt if they are to succeed. The purpose of this book is to provide the foundations of this new approach for both young scientists at the start of their careers, as well as for more experienced scientists to teach the younger generation. Most importantly, the book will make the reader think in a fresh, creative, and novel way about writing and publishing science. 267 p.

Ce guide résolument orienté vers la pratique a l’avantage, par rapport aux ouvrages équivalents, de présenter le processus éditorial d’une manière transparente, et de montrer ainsi que l’écriture scientifique n’est pas qu’un exercice de style technique et rigoureux, mais qu’elle nécessite aussi psychologie et stratégie afin de faire passer sa recherche et lui donner de l’impact.

There are several good books that give tips on writing scientific papers (how get started, how to maintain progress, along with stylistic advice). Hochberg provides this type of advice, but he does more. Having been the founding editor of Ecology Letters—the highest impact journal in that field—he fills this book with authoritative insights on the publication process. He devotes a section to choosing the right journal, with chapters explaining the decision process in publishing, expectation authors should have, the balance between journal scope and reputation, and decision time.
