"Packed with examples and evaluations of recent work, 'Academic Writing and Publishing' is presented in short chapters to reflect the writing and publishing process. It discusses the nature of academic writing before moving on to give advice on specific genres and on dealing with such issues as publishing delays and collaboration."
""Academic Writing and Publishing" will show academics (mainly in the social sciences) how to write and publish research articles. Its aim is to supply examples and brief discussions of recent work in all aspects of the area in short, sharp chapters. It should serve as a handbook for postgraduates and lecturers new to publishing. The book is written in a readable and lively personal style. The advice given is direct and based on up to date research that goes beyond that given in current textbooks. For example, the chapter on titles lists different kinds of titles and their purposes not discussed in other texts. The chapter on abstracts instructs the reader on writing structured abstracts from the start."
