About the author
Martins Zaumanis
5 books5 followersI am a researcher at ETH University domain in Switzerland. Working in academia is my dream come true but given my origins, the odds were stacked against me. You see, I grew up in a working-class family in a country that barely anyone has heard of, and I studied at a second-rate university that did not even provide access to research papers.
My background did not stop me from earning a Ph.D. in the USA and getting a position at one if the world's best research institutions. This journey was possible only because I developed strong academic communication skills that I will share with you in the Peer Recognized book series.
Where did I acquire the skills?
To learn telling about my research, I attended courses on public speaking, analyzed great presenters in action, and before my TEDx talk, I even had one-on-one lessons from a theater director. These are skills that no one teaches in graduate school. And even if they did, it most likely the advice would be bad because academics are, for the most part, awful presenters (just recall the number of presentations that start with an "outline").
To master writing impactful research papers, I discussed scientific writing with editors of major academic journals, took advice from people who have published in Nature, and read many books about human psychology. To learn writing winning research proposals, I attended a business incubator and even presented my research to angel investors.
After years of refining my skills, I can see the work has paid off. Even though literature was far from my favorite subject in school, writing research papers has become one of my favorite tasks. I feel butterflies in my stomach every time I see a new citation of my papers. Knowing that my work is making an impact pushes me to come up with new research ideas, and five years after Ph.D. graduation, I have authored projects amounting to a total of 6.7 million USD. Finally, knowing how to present my work in conferences and on the internet allows me to connect with many interesting scientists and join collaborative research projects.
Every day I enjoy being able to do a job I am passionate about. Getting here was only possible because of the academic communication skills that I have acquired. In the five Peer Recognized series books, I will show you these skills.

This book presents an interesting approach dealing with the article writing process. Article writing for high impact factor journals seems scary but it is a process every young researcher has to go through.
After reading this book, I am sure that I will not repeat my mistake of conventional writing of an article, starting from the 'Introduction' and ending it with 'Conclusions'.
The LEAP approach mentioned in the book is simple and easy to follow, for me it was an eye opener.
It is a highly recommended book for every young researcher who wants to thrive in their academic career.
Looking forward to read the next books in the series.

This is a highly recommended book. It’s ideal for both young researchers that just started - or are about to start- writing scientific articles, and senior researchers that want to exploit their writing skills and hence, their scientific contributions.
It’s easy to read, well-structured and to the point without being wordy. While reading it you realize that writing articles it’s not rocket science – I use to feel like that. Martins Zaumanis presents a simple but coherent methodology that will guide you through all the steps needed for writing high-level scientific articles.
Moreover, it gives you all the tips you need - but might be afraid to ask- for boosting your academic career.

I am a paleoanthropologist and and currently doing a MSc of Archaeology. I have been publishing my articles since 2018 and I am thoroughly interested in learning academic writing at highest level so while searching the sources in relation to that, I happened to take a good look at your book titled ‘Write an Impactful Research Paper.’ On my behalf, I would like to thank you for producing this incredible book that every scientist can benefit from.

Excellent resource for academic researchers at any career stage
I am seriously considering buying every new member of my group a copy of this book, it’s an incredibly useful resource and will help break down the often intimidating and seemingly insurmountable task of writing a great paper.
I also have the second book in this series and will definitely be investing in more!
