Writing : the most vital and neglected skill -- Writing for your reader's brain -- Before you begin : getting to so what? and who cares? -- Getting published : manuscripts, journals, and submissions -- Getting funded : applying for grants -- Collaborative writing : pass the baton -- Communicating with the public.
"Writing today is a task that most researchers delegate to the least-seasoned member of their unit. These junior members of teams are, if anything, even more in the dark about the entire cycle of writing, submission, and revision than the rest of the team. Perversely, we treat the most challenging aspect of research as gruntwork best passed off to the individuals who cannot refuse to do it. Perhaps, if researchers knew the logistics of good writing and the gauntlets we all pass through in getting work published or funded, they would spend more time mentoring their teammates and even less time delegating"--Provided by publisher.
