How to Write and Publish a Scientific Paper teaches how to apply clear focus, good organization, and simple, straightforward language to write papers as well as communicate effectively in many other scientifically related applications. Chapter topics include composing (and requesting) recommendation letters, writing grant proposals, providing peer review, editing one's own work, preparing oral presentations and poster presentations, and working with the popular media.

Writing clear, impactful reports is a crucial skill for science students, but few books focus on this area for the undergraduate. This text adopts a hands-on approach, using example reports and published papers as models to put guidance into practice.
