Winning the Publications Game: The smart way to write your paper and get it published, Fourth Edition
The publications game can seem tricky: knowing where to start, how to plan and draft a paper, who to pitch it to and how to present it can appear difficult enough. With the advent of e-publishing and ever-tougher regulatory frameworks surrounding research, the picture can seem even more intimidating.
In this classic guide, Tim Albert demystifies the process of getting research published in his characteristically clear and engaging style. From the initial brief to final manuscript and beyond, all is explained in jargon-free, no-nonsense and encouraging terms, providing indispensable guidance to clinicians, scientists and academics in giving their research the platform it deserves.

About the author
Tim Albert
14 books3 followersMy first published work was in 1964 when I won a school prize for an angst-ridden sonnet about climbing up a municipal rubbish dump.
My latest work is somewhat lighter - it describes a repeat trip I took around the United States on Greyhound buses after a gap of 50 years.
In between I have had one career as a journalist writing for local, national and medical publications - and another as a communications trainer, trying (with limited success) to persuade doctors and other health professionals that they do not need to write in pompous prose.
I have published four books on medical writing, a memoir and a travel book. I live in in Surrey, England with a saintly wife and a needy garden.

Yet another book in which the author drones about grammar while completely ignoring the logic.How to make pseudo-science to sell with minimal effort. The author is ready to hit his own dog food and injects into the text useless tables like the naming of the article based on word count (a 'letter' has about 400 words, yet a 'review article' has around 2000) or a chronology of this business starting 1665.
