To be useful, scientific research needs to be explained clearly to others--to colleagues, to administrators, to foundations and governmental bodies, and to the public. This thoroughly revised edition of the classic How to Write and Publish a Scientific Paper gives beginning scientists and experienced researchers alike practical advice on writing about their work and publishing what they write. The core of the book consists of a "how-to" guide to writing and publishing research articles for scientific journals, explaining every step of the process, from choosing a suitable journal for your work to presenting the results and citing references. In addition to the information on writing for scientific journals, this book provides additional advice for the scientist of the 21st century:
What ethical issues are important in scientific publishing?
What should a scientist know about rights and permissions?
How does a scientist write a grant proposal, or prepare progress reports for administrators?
What should a scientist know to work well with the media, or to write for a general audience? All of this practical information makes How to Write and Publish a Scientific Paper the essential guide that scientists need for succeeding in the competitive environment of today.

- "The logic of IMRAD can be defined in question from: what question was studied? The answer is the Introduction. How was the problem studied? The answer is the Methods. What were the findings? The answer is the Results. What do these findings mean? The answer is the Discussion."
- "The goal of scientific research is publication. A scientific experiment, no matter how spectacular the results, is not completed until the results are published. The scientist must not only "do" science but must "write" science. Certainly, many scientists do not like to write. As Charles Darwin said"

- "Like the Occam's razor, the spirit of scientific writing is also simpleness and clarity. State your facts as simply as possible, even boldly. No one wants flowers of eloquence or literary ornaments in a research article. — R. B. McKerrow Successful scientific experimentation is the result of a clear"

Publication is no more than "pressure waves" unless the published paper is understood(声音没有被人听到就相当于没有，而文章没有被别人正确理解就相当于这篇文章没有写). Too many papers fall silently in the woods. A scientist will spend months or ye"
- "Especially because of the work of Louis Pasteur, who confirmed the germ theory of disease and who developed pure-culture methods of studying microorganisms, both science and the reporting of science made great advances. … Pasteur found it necessary to describe his experiments in exquisite detail.

- "What question(problem) was studied? The answer is the Introduction. How was the problem studied? The answer is the Methods. What were the findings? The answer is the Results. What do these findings mean? The answer is the Discussion."
- "An acceptable primary scientific publication must be the first disclosure containing sufficient information to enable peers: 1. to assess observations 2. to repeat experiments 3. to evaluate intellectual processes moreover, it must be susceptible to sensory perception, essentially permanent, availab"
