The Pathway to Publishing: A Guide to Quantitative Writing in the Health Sciences
by
Writing manuscripts is central to the advance of scientific knowledge. For an early career aspiring scientist, writing first author manuscripts is an opportunity to develop critical skills and to credential their expertise. Writing manuscripts, however, is difficult, doubly so for scientists who use English as a second language. Many science students intentionally avoid a writing-intensive curriculum. Careful, thorough reviews of draft manuscripts are difficult to secure, and experienced scientific supervisors face more demands on their time than they have time available. Weak draft manuscripts discourage supervising scientists investing the time to coach revisions. It is easier for experienced scientists to ignore the request, or to simply rewrite the article. Early career scientists are motivated to address these barriers but specific advice is difficult to find, and much of this advice is behind a pay wall. This essential, open access text presents writing lessons organized as common errors, providing students and early-career researchers with an efficient way to learn, and mentors with a quick-reference guide to reviewing. Error descriptions include specific examples drawn from real-world experiences of other early-career writers, and suggestions for how to successfully address and avoid these in the future. Versions of this book have been used by Stanford University, UC Davis, Johns Hopkins, and numerous international institutions and organizations for over a decade.

Story, Not Study: 30 Brief Lessons to Inspire Health Researchers As Writers
by
If you sometimes dread writing, you’re not alone. Writing can be tough. Many researchers struggle mightily to put their work into words, only to end up with uninspiring papers that fail to resonate with readers or reviewers. The problem is usually not a lack of effort, but rather a lack of writing training. For many researchers, careful attention to writing is simply not part of their professional preparation. Because they haven’t honed the technical skills required to write persuasively, many health researchers rely on intuitive approaches to writing, leaving them with limited versatility. And when writing challenges inevitably present themselves, they lack an inventory of strategies to address them productively.
We aim to change that. This book spotlights the craft of scientific writing. Published advice on scientific writing typically shortchanges craft. Instead, it tends toward a checklist-style approach to meeting the minimum bar for publication. We think researchers can reach for a more ambitious goal: a memorable paper that shapes how readers think and feel about a problem that matters.

Writing a manuscript
When preparing a scholarly manuscript for publication, it's important to consider that different journals and study designs may have specific formatting and submission requirements. While the resources provided here offer general guidance on writing in the health sciences, they may not address the unique needs of every study design or journal. Always consult the author guidelines for your target journal to ensure your manuscript meets their specific standards and expectations.
