Scientific Writing and Publishing
A Comprehensive Manual for Authors

'Professor Denys Wheatley's Manual is a must-read for any Ph.D. student, researcher or scientist writing and publishing scientific papers. Not only is it the perfect primer for a first-time scientific writer, but also a complete guide for professionals. As a French-speaking biochemist, I did not encounter any difficulties in understanding this manual, and that is why it is certainly a stepping-stone for my research career.' Nadia Bouktit, University A Mira of Béjaïa, Algeria

'This much-needed book is clear, succinct and comprehensive, it gives the inexperienced (and indeed the more experienced) scientific author sound practical guidance at every step in the process, from planning and drafting the manuscript … It is this comprehensiveness and common-sense practicality that distinguishes it from other guides to scientific writing. I would happily recommend it to research students and post-docs, and I wish it had been available when I first embarked on a career in science.' Mark P. Henderson, Formerly at Napier University, Edinburgh
