NIAS Press Getting Published: A Companion for the Humanities
Book SynopsisThe biggest hurdle for junior scholars looking to embark on an academic career is to make the transition from PhD candidate to that first (ideally tenured) job. An imperative part of this process is getting published and yet increasingly this is becoming something harder to achieve.This book aims to guide both young and more experienced scholars through some of the pitfall s and complexities of getting published. Furthermore, the far-reaching changes affecting academic publishing (e-publishing , new printing technologies, Creative Commons licensing, the collapse of the library market, etc.) are discussed, focusing on their future effect on academic authors.Although it is in part a practical guide to navigating all stages of the publication process, Getting Published is not simply another 'how to' guide. Rather, its key concern is to give its readers an understanding of the stages, processes and pitfalls involved in getting from an idea in one's head (or indeed a PhD thesis on one's desk) to a published academic book in a colleague's hand. With better knowledge, would-be authors have greater control over their situation.Trade ReviewI recommend this book for academic authors, especially those in the humanities or social sciences, wanting an insider's view of academic book publishing in the early twenty-first century. For first-time authors, reading this book will clarify a compicated, lengthy process that is only beginnning when the manuscript is finished. Steven E. Gump, Journal of Scholarly Publishing, Volume 41, Number 1, October 2009 This attractively written book takes us through the process of production of a scholarly monograph, commencing from the planning process and concluding with delivery. The book will be of great use to first-time writers and especially scholars who wish to convert their thesis into a book. For these scholars, the chapters on book-planning and thesis conversion in Getting Published are, I think, essential reading. But experienced academics will also benefit.

John Benjamins Publishing Co The Art and Architecture of Academic Writing
Book SynopsisThis book is a bridge to confident academic writing for advanced non-native English users. It emphasizes depth over breadth through mastery of core writing competencies and strategies which apply to most academic disciplines and genres. Tailored to students in EMI programs, the content was piloted and revised during a longitudinal writing study. The innovative approach prepares students to write for the academic community through the dual lenses of Art (developing a writer’s voice through choices in language, style, and topics) and Architecture (mastering norms of academic language, genre, and organization.) The user-friendly text maximizes time for writing practice and production by avoiding lengthy readings. Part 1 builds skills and confidence in writing by focusing on assignments that do not require research. Part 2 applies newly mastered principles, skills, and strategies to research-based writing. Students learn to incorporate thesis, research, and evidence into a process for academic writing by following the AWARE framework (Arranging to write, Writing, Assessing, Revising, and Editing.)

John Benjamins Publishing Co Academic Writing: Intercultural and textual
Book SynopsisWriting is crucial to the academic world. It is the main mode of communication among scientists and scholars and also a means for students for obtaining their degrees. The papers in this volume highlight the intercultural, generic and textual complexities of academic writing. Comparisons are made between various traditions of academic writing in different cultures and contexts and the studies combine linguistic analyses with analyses of the social settings in which academic writing takes place and is acquired. The common denominator for the papers is writing in English and attention is given to native-English writers’ and non-native writers’ problems in different disciplines. The articles in the book introduce a variety of methodological approaches for analyses and search for better teaching methods and ways of improving the syllabi of writing curricula. The book as a whole illustrates how linguists strive for new research methods and practical applications in applied linguistics.Table of Contents1. Preface; 2. Acknowledgements; 3. 1.

Amsterdam University Press Survival Guide for Scientists: Writing - Presentation - Email
Book SynopsisDuring the course of Dutch physicist and Spinoza Prize-winner Ad Lagendijk’s long and influential career, he has published more than 300 articles, supervised over thirty doctoral dissertations, and given countless presentations and conference addresses. Over the years, his incisive consultations, tips, and rules for scientific study have proven themselves so beneficial to the emerging scientists under his watch that he has been inundated with requests for a written version. Aimed primarily at undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral students, this essential guide presents Lagendijk’s practical how-to advice on topics such as writing scientific texts, presenting data and research information, and the writing and reading of collegial emails. Each section is organised by a collection of short rules, outlined and numbered in a logical order as selfexplanatory pieces of information – allowing the reader the freedom to study any number of them in any desired order. But it doesn’t stop there: many of the hints, in particular those referring to presentations, are of invaluable use for a much broader audience of professionals, up to consultants and (public) managers. Survival Guide for Scientists is complimented by www.sciencesurvivalblog.com where Lagendijk and others explore ways of making scientific writing more effective.Table of ContentsGeduLagendijk - Survival Guide for Scientists - 2 Summary Contents - 8 Detailed Contents - 10 Preface - 32 Writing Guide For Scientists - 34 1 Introduction - 35 2 Manuscript handling - 42 3 Text formatter - 51 4 Text structure - 55 5 Text content - 59 6 Text speling - 76 7 Math - 78 8 Figures - 83 9 Tables - 91 10 Submision - 93 11 Referee reports - 96 12 Administration - 104 13 Reaching out - 107 14 Alternative publishing - 108 15 Protecting your papers - 112 16 About - 115 Presentation Guide for Scientists - 118 1 General - 120 2 Proces of presentation - 127 3 Spoken text - 134 4 Slides - 147 5 Technical aspects - 180 6 Ten commandments - 188 7 Checklist - 189 8 About - 190 8.A Trademarks - 191 Email Guide For Scientists - 192 1 Introduction - 194 2 General principles - 198 3 Receiving emails - 205 4 Sending emails - 213 5 Managing acount(s) - 230 6 Archiving emails - 238 7 Security - 243 8 Internet Protocols - 247 9 About - 250 Index - 252

Leuven University Press When News Travels East: Translation Practices by
Book SynopsisJournalism and unique translation practices by Japanese media todayInternational news stories provided to the public basically rely on translation. Most of this translation is done not by translators, but by journalists with practically no training in translation. What happens when the norms of journalism and those of translation clash? In this book, the author, a trained conference interpreter and former international journalist, investigates translator decisions in the practice of Japanese news translation. Her extensive analysis of texts from six major Japanese newspapers and interviews with Japanese “journalators” focuses on direct quotations, where accuracy is a journalistic priority but can generate loss of communication impact if implemented rigidly. She argues that many shifts from accuracy can be explained as risk management strategies. When News Travels East provides invaluable insight from an insider about news translation in Japan and beyond and paves the way for further research in the field.This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).Trade ReviewBlog article - Rethinking the role of news translation in the face of the pandemic'While the role of translation in the global dissemination of news can be viewed positively in terms of information equality, it has also been criticized for bringing about an infodemic (i.e., an overabundance of information including false, erroneous, or unfounded claims).'Kayo Matsushita, https://www.federationhss.ca/en/blog/rethinking-role-news-translation-face-pandemicTable of ContentsList of Tables List of Figures Preface Chapter 1.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Outline Of Scientific Writing, An: For
Book SynopsisThis book is aimed at researchers who need to write clear and understandable manuscripts in English. Today, English is the official language of international conferences and most important publications in science and technology are written in English. Therefore, learning how to write in English has become part of the researcher's task. The book begins by discussing constructs of the English language such as sentence structure and word use. It then proceeds to discuss the style and convention used in scientific publications. Some of the topics covered include: Planning of a Manuscript; Authorship; References; Tables and Figures; Submission to a Journal; Production Schedules.This book is written at such a level that the reader should not have to resort to a dictionary. It includes many examples and exercises to clarify the rules and guidelines presented.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Scientific Writing: A Reader And Writer's Guide
Book SynopsisGiven that scientific material can be hard to comprehend, sustained attention and memory retention become major reader challenges. Scientific writers must not only present their science, but also work hard to generate and sustain the interest of readers. Attention-getters, sentence progression, expectation-setting, and "memory offloaders" are essential devices to keep readers and reviewers engaged. The writer needs to have a clear understanding of the role played by each part of a paper, from its eye-catching title to its eye-opening conclusion. This book walks through the main parts of a paper; that is, those parts which create the critical first impression. The unique approach in this book is its focus on the reader rather than the writer. Senior scientists who supervise staff and postgraduates can use the book to review drafts and to help with the writing as well as the science. Young researchers can find solid guidelines that reduce the confusion all new writers face. Published scientists can finally move from what feels right to what is right, identifying mistakes they thought were acceptable, and fully appreciating their responsibility: to guide the reader along carefully laid-out reading tracks.Table of ContentsThe Reading Toolkit: Require Less from Memory; Sustain Attention to Ensure Continuous Reading; Reduce Reading Time; Keep the Reader Motivated; Bridge the Knowledge Gap; Set the Reader's Expectations; Set Progression Tracks for Fluid Reading; Create Reading Momentum; Control Reading Energy Consumption; Paper Structure and Purpose: Title: The Face of Your Paper; Abstract: The Heart of Your Paper; Headings/Subheadings: The Skeleton of Your Paper; Introduction: The Hands of Your Paper; Introduction Part II: Popular Traps; Visuals: The Voice of Your Paper; Conclusion: The Smile of Your Paper.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Scientific Writing 2.0: A Reader And Writer's
Book SynopsisThe book helps scientists write papers for scientific journals. Using the key parts of typical scientific papers (Title, Abstract, Introduction, Visuals, Structure, and Conclusions), it shows through numerous examples, how to achieve the essential qualities required in scientific writing, namely being clear, concise, convincing, fluid, interesting, and organized. To enable the writer to assess whether these parts are well written from a reader's perspective, the book also offers practical metrics in the form of six checklists, and even an original Java application to assist in the evaluation.The focus of the book is on self- and reader-assisted assessment of the scientific journal article. It is also the first time that a book on scientific writing takes a human factor view of the reading task and the reader scientist. By revealing and addressing the physiological causes that create substantial reading difficulties, namely limited reader memory, attention span, and patience, the book guarantees that writing will gain the much coveted reader-centered quality.Table of ContentsThe Reading Toolkit: Require Less from Memory; Sustain Attention to Ensure Continuous Reading; Reduce Reading Time; Keep the Reader Motivated; Bridge the Knowledge Gap; Set the Reader's Expectations; Set Progression Tracks for Fluid Reading; Detect Sentence Fluidity Problems; Control Reading Energy Consumption; Paper Structure and Purpose: Title: The Face of Your Paper; Abstract: The Heart of Your Paper; Headings-Subheadings: The Skeleton of Your Paper; Introduction: The Hands of Your Paper; Introduction Part II: Popular Traps; Conclusions: The Smile of Your Paper; Additional Resources for the Avid Learner.

It is also the first time that a book on scientific writing takes a human factor view of the reading task and the reader scientist. By revealing and addressing the physiological causes that create substantial reading difficulties, namely limited reader memory, attention span, and patience, the book guarantees that writing will gain the much coveted reader-centered quality.Table of ContentsThe Reading Toolkit: Require Less from Memory; Sustain Attention to Ensure Continuous Reading; Reduce Reading Time; Keep the Reader Motivated; Bridge the Knowledge Gap; Set the Reader's Expectations; Set Progression Tracks for Fluid Reading; Detect Sentence Fluidity Problems; Control Reading Energy Consumption; Paper Structure and Purpose: Title: The Face of Your Paper; Abstract: The Heart of Your Paper; Headings-Subheadings: The Skeleton of Your Paper; Introduction: The Hands of Your Paper; Introduction Part II: Popular Traps; Conclusions: The Smile of Your Paper; Additional Resources for the Avid Learner.

Cognella, Inc Talk to the Hand: Doing the Write Way
Book SynopsisTalk to the Hand: Doing the Write Way provides students with a simple approach to college-level writing that makes the process much less complicated and daunting. The book equips readers with a step-by-step guide that renders the act of writing as easy as looking at a person's hand.The opening chapter introduces the hand theory, with the palm of an open hand representing the thesis statement of an essay or paper and each finger representing a main point. Within this framework, additional chapters explore the differences between formal and informal writing, forms of writing and communication that are present in popular and everyday lives, and problem-solving or proposal writing. Students learn about the power of persuasion and understanding needs, expectations, and possibilities of an intended audience. They learn how to reimagine their work to strengthen their thesis and expand beyond the original foundation of a piece of writing. Each chapter features Scholar in Training boxes, preparation questions and rubrics for each step in the writing process, writing examples to illustrate key points, reflection opportunities, exercises, peer editing sheets, and valuable writing reminders to support the overall learning experience.An interactive and essential resource, Talk to the Hand is an ideal textbook for freshman composition courses. It is also an exemplary guide for all students entering higher education regardless of their academic disciplines.
