Description
This is a guide to publication strategy in medicine. It covers the ethics, conventions and often unwritten rules of publishing in peer-reviewed journals and at conferences.
Doctors, scientists and drug companies need to publish their research; however many people who have published successfully admit that the process remains a mystery to them. Some journals reject over ninety percent of the articles submitted to them and may take more than six months to come to a decision. This completely up-to-date reference book gives advice on how to choose the right journal, how to avoid delays, authorship disputes and many other problems associated with publishing.
The A-Z format makes it relevant to readers with different levels of experience and different backgrounds. It meets the needs of students and professionals wishing to publish research, investigators in drug-company sponsored studies, and employees of drug companies and communications agencies required to develop publication strategies.
Review Quotes 'An interesting and up-to-date guide. The text comprehensively guides the reader through the various stages of the publication process. An easy read, it collates key information not always readily available. Invaluable, enjoyable, light-hearted. An essential resource for budding nursing authors and also of value to those with experience of the publishing process.' NURSING STANDARD
'The novice and the established author can learn much from the information in this book which could save the reader many hours of trial and error, endeavour and industry to acquire through experience.' BRITISH TRAVEL HEALTH ASSOCIATION JOURNAL
'Contains a large amount of information essential for success in publishing. A useful guide.' BMJ (ROMANIA)
'A godsend. There is plenty of good information, mixed with sound advice. Knowledge is power. Subvert the system. Buy the book. Put it with the other reference books on your desk. And use it to get published.' EUROPEAN SCIENCE EDITING
'A fantastically practical book. I had to buy another copy for my colleague who kept borrowing it. My copy is now festooned with sticky flags and much underlining of key points.' AMAZON
'This book breaks through the traditional scholarly texts of "how to get published", providing an invaluable blueprint in medical publication strategy. Entertaining, readable and eminently practical for novices and experts alike. Intelligently written, logical and solid.' BMJ CAREER FOCUS
'In order to climb up the greasy pole of promotion in the National Health Service and other organizations it is generally necessary to publish scientific articles. This small book tells you how. Highly useful, accurate and comprehensive.' JOURNAL OF THE BRITISH MENOPAUSE SOCIETY
'Informative, interesting and very readable. This volume is extremely well constructed. For people beginning a career in medical writing, this book is, quite simply, essential reading. The experienced medical writer will enjoy the authoritative yet personal style of writing. Such readers will also value the book as a compendium, to be kept on the bookshelf in case others query an aspect of a publication strategy. The book's other key audience encompasses everyone who is likely to be involved in the development and publication of papers and reports. Its presentation of both the ideal processes involved in publishing and how these processes often happen in practice will make it an eye-opener for some and a valuable reference work for all. Most books that I review are returned to the Institute's library; I suspect that this one will be found on my desk on a regular basis.' CLINICAL RESEARCH FOCUS
'The strength of this book, and its difference from others on publishing, lies in its emphasis on strategy. It is not simply another book on "writing for publication". The author's light touches and humour make this a readable book. Read it from cover to cover and then keep it to hand as a useful resource. Much of it did provide new insights and food for thought. I had a distinct sense of reading a text that is based on extensive, real-life experience and, as a result, it has an astute understanding of those issues and complexities attached to publishing research that are not often talked about or written down, and seldom taught.' JOURNAL OF ADVANCED NURSING
'This comprehensive guide to getting published is lively, easy reading. An excellent guide to the emotional roller coaster of getting published, the good bits and the bad. I would have no hesitation in recommending this book to colleagues. I wish I had had something similar when I started out!' CLINICIAN IN MANAGEMENT
