Reviews / Votes
"The contributions [to this title] are written by people who know what they are talking about, and that is why I think the book worked... It has a feel of the real world. Much of the advice is sound as well as clearly summarised." ( Evidence Based Medicine , April 2009) "This is a great book and its early promise was fulfilled with ease. Anybody involved in writing papers would benefit from this book... An excellent book: 10/10." ( Urology News , May/June 2009) "The book is written for medical journal authors, but the advice is applicable much more broadly. The book offers numerous practical tips ... .The book also offers a behind-the-scenes peek into the world of editors, publishers and assessors (reviewers), as well as discussions of ethics, authorship and other related topics." ( Journal of Clinical Research Best Practices , December 2008)More details
