The first edition of this book (titled ''The
Clinician's Guide to Medical Writing'') has become a
standard in its field and remains an indispensible
reference for any clinician, academic physician, or
health professional who wishes to hone their writing
skills. However, since its publication in 2004,
significant changes have taken place in the way medical
professionals communicate with each other and the world.
Medical Writing: A Guide for Clinicians and
Academicians, 2e retains all of the fundamental writing
advice of the first edition and has been expanded to
include two brand new chapters: How to Write a Research
Protocol (including why a research project needs a
written protocol, elements of the research protocol and
common problems) How to Write a Grant Proposal
(including sections on government and private grant
funding sources, what you need to know about grant
writing, and elements of a successful grant proposal)
New information is also included throughout the book on
becoming a successful writer, medical tables and
figures, conflict of interest and disclosures, how to
review a scientific article, statistical analysis,
''pay-to-publish'' journal publishing, electronic
submission of manuscripts, issues in medical publishing
and the future of medical writing and publication. New
appendices address commonly encountered research and
statistical terms and memorable aphorisms regarding
writing, medical and otherwise. |
