How to Write, Publish, and Present in the Health Sciences: A Guide for Physicians and Laboratory Researchers 1st Edition

This book is a must have for anyone in medicine or science. Must-have. VERY easy read and very practical advice even for someone with experience writing for the medical and scientific literature.

A remarkable book covering all aspects of planning, writing and submitting clinical journal articles for publication. The very thorough treatment makes this well worth reading for any student beginning a healthcare career, or the clinician wanting to produce more persuasive and rigorous publications.

There is not much in the book that you can't find online for free. Universities have websites to help improve writing skills and a simple google search can yield all of the same information in this book. If your professor does not insist that you buy this it, don't. There are no assignments in it so it's not likely you will miss anything without it.

Good book.

I actually took the class from Mr. Lang at Ohio State which was a pretty good class. This is the text that he wrote. This serves as a good entry level text for those that are new to writing for publication in scientific and medical journals. It gives good points on those questions you ask your self like what font to use on a professional poster? or what information a plot should show for publication? Has a follow-up book "How to Report Statistics in Medicine" which is also a good resource to have on your bookshelf.

The book was favourably reviewed by T.D. Minton in the Journal of Medical English Education Vol. 9, No. 1 (January 2010)

Well,only went through couple of chapters so far - so really too early to adequately assess, but so far promising what I thought of it. An indepth review with many helpful hints. The 'history' part of it is interesting in a way to think about the purpose of why we are doing what we are doing.

This is not the new bookBecause there is writing in the book and have the split of book
