Writing Successfully in Science
'Everyone starting a thesis should read this book. I have
found this book really useful, not only because it explains how to write,
revise, and submit a journal article but also because it explains how to deal
with corrections, rejections of journal submissions; how to prepare a small
talk; how to review articles; and specially ... how to write a thesis!'
