Research publications have always been key to building a successful career in science, yet little if any formal guidance is offered to young scientists on how to get research papers peer reviewed, accepted, and published by leading scientific journals. With What Editors Want, Philippa J. Benson and Susan C. Silver, two well-respected editors from the science publishing community, remedy that situation with a clear, straightforward guide that will be of use to all scientists. Benson and Silver instruct readers on how to identify the journals that are most likely to publish a given paper, how to write an effective cover letter, how to avoid common pitfalls of the submission process, and how to effectively navigate the all-important peer review process, including dealing with revisions and rejection. With supplemental advice from more than a dozen experts, this book will equip scientists with the knowledge they need to usher their papers through publication.

“Enhanced with approximately 100 additional pages, this second edition is a testament to the success of the first one.” —Choice For more than a decade, The Chicago Guide to Communicating Science has been the go-to reference for anyone who needs to write or speak about their research. Whether it’s a student writing a thesis, a faculty member composing a grant proposal, or a public information officer crafting a press release, Scott Montgomery’s advice is perfectly adaptable to any scientific writer’s needs. This new edition has been thoroughly revised to address crucial issues in the changing landscape of scientific communication, with an increased focus on those writers working in corporate settings, government, and nonprofit organizations as well as academia. Half a dozen new chapters tackle the evolving needs and paths of scientific writers. These sections address plagiarism and fraud, writing graduate theses, translating scientific material, communicating science to the public, and the increasing globalization of research. Through solid examples and concrete advice, Montgomery helps scientists develop their own voice and become stronger communicators. He also addresses the roles of media and the public in scientific attitudes, and offers advice for those whose research concerns controversial issues such as climate change or emerging viruses. Today, communicators must move seamlessly among platforms and styles. The Chicago Guide to Communicating Science helps scientists and researchers expertly connect with their audiences, no matter the medium.

From Research to Manuscript, written in simple, straightforward language, explains how to understand and summarize a research project.

This book takes you from the data on your desk and leads you through the drafts and rewrites needed to build a thorough, clear science article. At each step, the book describes not only what to do but why and how. It discusses why each section of a science paper requires its particular form of information, and it shows how to put your data and your arguments into that form.

As a textbook or as an individual tutorial, From Research to Manuscript belongs in the library of every serious science writer and editor.
