All researchers must publish their work, primarily in peer-reviewed journals. Their papers are essential for promotion, recognition, and creating dialogues with colleagues around the world. Unfortunately, writing publication-quality manuscripts and guiding them through the peer-review process is difficult, time-consuming, and often frustrating. In this book, you&ll learn how to make the process easier, guided by the author&s more than 25 years of experience&experience gained from helping authors publish more than 6000 papers in some of the world&s most prestigious journals (including Nature, Science, and PNAS). "Writing for Science Journals" explains the details of every section of a journal manuscript, including tips and tricks you won&t find elsewhere about dealing with the peculiar ways journals work with authors and reviewers. You&ll also learn to perform better research by avoiding certain common pitfalls related to statistics and experimental design that can make publication difficult. Each chapter ends with a list of key points you can use as the basis for developing a learning plan.
