They provide early-career scientists and experienced researchers with practical support on writing for different audiences and getting published. This ninth edition retains the key material – including preparing text and graphics, publishing research papers, writing grant proposals, rights and permissions, and a wealth of advice on writing style – while new material includes new guidance on navigating copyright, presenting online, identifying co-authors, creating visual abstracts, and writing in English as a non-native language. Valuable appendices provide a ready reference on words and expressions to avoid, SI prefixes, useful websites, and a handy glossary. Postgraduate students and working scientists will want to keep How to Write and Publish a Scientific Paper at their desks and refer to it at every stage of writing and publication.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e A word to international readers\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
