Opis

Medical Writing and Editing is based on a successful course at the University of Michigan Medical School and teaches students not just how to write scientific and medical articles, but addresses key issues surrounding copyright, ethics, open access and much more. The book helps readers to understand processes of scientific and medical publishing; understand the role of an academic in medical publishing; become a better scientific communicator; and develop skills to effectively serve as the editor of a medical journal. This book explains how to edit and conduct peer reviews, which are important skills in any research career. Very few doctors and scientists receive explicit training in publishing, editing and reviewing scholarly articles, despite the central importance of that work for scientific research and their careers.

• Covers a full range of essential information - permissions, conflict of interest, copyright and writing for novel venues
• Emphasizes scientific integrity in writing, editing and publishing
• Focuses on enhancing writing skills
• Explains how to edit and conduct peer reviews
