Description
Book SynopsisThis contemporary guide is packed full of expert tips and suggestions which will provide the reader with the means and motivation to write better scientific papers that are more likely to be read and have impact.
Trade ReviewI know of no other book dealing with the basics of scientific writing as cleanly and as directly as this one does. Indeed, the book sticks admirably to its own principles on two fronts: it is short and to the point. Great scientists still need to know how to write cleanly and plainly, and Scientific Papers Made Easy is an excellent guide for acquiring that skill. * Science *
This book is well-written... It should become an essential starting point for new scholars and the much-needed voice on the shoulder of all as they continue in their endeavours. * Tom Dickins, British Psychological Society *
It is stock full of advice of how to write academic papers from start to finish, all presented in a breezy but precise style. * J. Arvid Ågren, BioScience, 2023 *
Do we really need another book on writing? The answer is 'yes' for scientific papers, as long as that book is Stuart West and Lindsay Turnbull's new book, Scientific Papers Made Easy: How to Write with Clarity and Impact in the Life Sciences (2023). * Pat Barclay, Science Direct *
Anyone scared of a blank page when starting writing a manuscript will benefit from reading this book. * ISBE Newsletter Vol 35 *
Scientific Papers Made Easy stands with the best of the genre. It is stock full of advice of how to write academic papers from start to finish, all presented in a breezy but precise style. * Arvid Ågren, Bioscience *
In Scientific Papers Made Easy, Stuart West and Lindsay Turnbull have delivered an excellent guide to the production of research papers, and one relevant to all empirical disciplines. Despite my quarter century as an academic, their advice on clarity, concision, and how to address the reader caused me to rethink my own practices and highlighted several errors (I will confess to none...). This book should be adopted in research methods teaching for undergraduate students helping them to produce well-crafted theses. And I use 'should' in the strongest imperative sense possible. * Tom Dickins, The Psychologist *
