Maybe the strongest accolade I can give this book is that it has now become one of the core texts for the SRA’s training courses on writing research reports and publishing research... Publishing Journal Articles... holds your hand, provides practical guidance and does it with a good sense of empathy... In summary, it's well worth a read if you are new to this area.

This book is jam packed full of great and usable advice written in an easy to follow and non-threatening format.
very practical and accessible
Structure of the book was attractive, but it was hard to find anything new in the content...
have recommended this text to students and staff. An excellent first step to equip them with the knowledge and confidence to start publishing, very straight forward.
Final year dissertation students are given the option of writing up their dissertation in the form of a journal article. This book gives a concise guide as to the style, layout and form such a piece of work should take. I would recommend it to those seeking to write in such a style.
Great for students who want to go further with their master thesis and find their way into publishing
Good starter texts for Masters students with aspirations to publish their work
This book provides an understanding of the purpose of peer review process, as well as an appreciation of the potential timeframe for a manuscript to complete the process and move toward publication
