Writing And Presenting Scientific Papers 2nd Ed.

Description:
The aim of this book is to provide guidelines for preparing papers and presentations so that your message can be transmitted clearly and concisely to the reader or listener. Techniques for improving your writing, literature searching and training students in communication are also discussed. In this revised edition a few more topics have been added, such as electronic submission of manuscripts, writing statistics, and writing research proposals.

Review:
'This book should be required reading for all students whose degrees or professions will involve presenting scientific results in writing or orally. The topic is so important and the book so competent, it will quickly attract a grateful readership of students, research scientists and teachers. It is well overdue and well done.'
