Résumé

This contemporary guide is packed full of expert tips and suggestions which will make the reader think in a fresh, creative, and novel way about writing and publishing science.A good research paper is more than just a clear, concise, scientific expose. It is a document that needs to go beyond the science to attract attention. There are both strict and less definable norms for doing this, but many authors are unaware as to what they are or their use. Publishing is rapidly changing, and needs to be explained with a fresh perspective. Simply writing good, clear, concise, science is no longer enough-there is a different mind-set now required that students need to adopt if they are to succeed. The purpose of this book is to provide the foundations of this new approach for both young scientists at the start of their careers, as well as for more experienced scientists to teach the younger generation. Most importantly, the book will make the reader think in a fresh, creative, and novel way about writing and publishing science. This is an introductory guide suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and professional researchers in both the life and physical sciences.Part I Before you begin 1: Planting your flag 2: Quality and productivity 3: Citing, reading and searching 4: Avoiding plagiarism Part II Writing a great paper 5: The writing mind-set 6: The start 7: Use Models! 8: IMRaD 9: The vitrine 10: The puzzle 11: Emphasis and finesse Part III Choosing where to publish 12: How journals operate 13: Who really decides? 14: What to expect from journal service 15: Choices in publishing 16: Choosing a journal Part IV Submission and decision 17: Authorship 18: The cover letter 19: The publication decision 20: Data archiving and sharing Part V Challenges 21: Peer review 22: The cost of publishing 23: Use of citation metrics 24: Disposable science Part VI Opportunities 25: Developing your career 26: Collaborating 27: Writing reviews, opinions and commentaries 28: Reviewing manuscripts 29: Social media 30: Old dogs, new tricksMichael Hochberg is Distinguished Research Director with the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Montpellier, France, and External Professor with the Santa Fe Institute.
