The Biomedical Writer

Hundreds of thousands of faculty and researchers worldwide are in fierce competition to gain research funding and publications, resulting in an intensely challenging environment for even the most seasoned researchers. Co-authored by a leading ophthalmologist and a professor with fifteen years of experience teaching writing in the biomedical sciences, The Biomedical Writer will address ways to use psychology and neuroscience to equip researchers and clinicians to understand how effects like priming, primacy, recency, framing and apparent paradoxes can make or break your articles and grant proposals. The Biomedical Writer covers everything from making sentences readable, effective and memorable to working with collaborators under unforgiving deadlines. Going far beyond the basic structure and content of manuscripts and proposals, this guide to writing in biomedicine also focuses on topics that include handling negative results and the most important and neglected step in submitting manuscripts to journals.
