This second edition of How to Write and Illustrate a Scientific Paper will help both first-time writers and more experienced authors, in all biological and medical disciplines, to present their results effectively. Whilst retaining the easy-to-read and well-structured approach of the previous edition, it has been broadened to include comprehensive advice on writing compilation theses for doctoral degrees, and a detailed description of preparing case reports. Illustrations, particularly graphs, are discussed in detail, with poor examples redrawn for comparison. The reader is offered advice on how to present the paper, where and how to submit the manuscript, and finally, how to correct the proofs. Examples of both good and bad writing, selected from actual journal articles, illustrate the author's advice - which has been developed through his extensive teaching experience - in this accessible and informative guide.

How to Write and Illustrate a Scientific Paper PDF

I have been dipping into this concise and witty book as I write my 13th research paper. Gustavii provides excellent advice on the entire process, from preparing graphs (very helpful) to dealing with editors and referees. The book is aimed at graduate students and post-docs but the language is so simple and direct that undergraduate researchers could also learn from it.

By D. Hirsh

As a graduate student entering a scientific field with a liberal arts degree, I have found this book to be a very helpful, straightforward and enjoyable introduction to scientific writing. I appreciated consulting it for guidance on designing tables and writing up the methods and results sections for my master's capstone project. The chapters are well organized and effectively cover a lot of material; they are very easy to quickly scan and find a useful piece of advice on a particular topic. This book has also made me a more critical reader of the literature. As astounding number of published peer-reviewed papers fail follow the most basic rules; confusing language and poorly constructed tables not only frustrate the reader but may also prevent the communication of potentially important results. This is a must-read for anybody who wants to clearly and efficiently convey scientific information. Highly recommended!
