Customer Rating: 

This is a really well-written text that takes you back to the basics of writing as they apply to scientific papers. From there it builds gradually, and the exercises at the end of each section help learn how to use the concepts being taught.

Customer Rating: 

This is a great book for anyone trying to write a scientific paper. Step by step instructions on common sense issues. If you know how to write well, then this book will help you. If you write poorly, then this book will be your best friend!

I am a graduate student and had a difficult time writing my first paper. I bought this book and it clarified all the hidden rules that you are "supposed to just know." Buy this book, then set aside time to actually read it!

Customer Rating: 

This is an outstanding book on how to improve the writing of biomedical research papers. It is well organized, well presented and extremely helpful.

I bought several writing books at the same time and this one stands out because not only is it a "how-to" book, but it is a workbook and mostly consists of exercises. There is plenty of space in the book to do the exercises right in the book. This is extremely important, because you can read about the rules for improving your writing, but you really don't learn how to use them until you practice rewriting actual sentences.

Significantly, this book has dramatically improved my ability to edit my own papers, which has been one of my nagging writing weaknesses.

Customer Rating: 

A good book for beginers, clear and easy to read.
