Purpose: This book
provides step-by-step guidance on developing a sound publication strategy
for how to prepare and get research papers published. The book is a
user-friendly guide, a route map for publishing that covers many topics,
ranging from abstracts and blogs, tables and trial registration to ethical
principles and conventions for writing scientific papers. Publishing the
results of scientific research in the form of a scientific paper is the
ultimate goal and the final stage of the research of each scientist. To
write and publish papers is never going to be an easy task. With this book
as their guide, researchers will be better informed and therefore should
have an easier and altogether more pleasant path to publication with clear
direction on how to choose the right journal, avoid publication delays, and
resolve authorship disputes and many other problems associated with
scientific publishing.
Contents: The 188
pages of the book are distributed in 5 chapters in Part I and 249 entries
ordered by the letters of Alphabet in Part II creating an A to Z of
publication strategy. In the Appendices there are four sections covering
further reading, organizations, guidelines and principles of good
publication practice for company-sponsored medical research. The book also
contains key references and useful websites within many entries where it
seemed helpful. The last ten pages of the book present an index to help
users to find the information of interest in the book.
Conclusion: The book
is intended to help all authors, young and old, novice and experienced, to
plan their research and publications effectively and prepare manuscripts for
journals and other publications, increasing the likelihood that their work
will be published. Providing essential information on publishing strategy
and process, the book should be extremely useful to everyone who wants to
publish research results.
