The Council of Science Editors |
The first of a series of thumbnail booklets on issues of interest to science editors and the scientific community in general. The Publication Process at Biomedical Journals, especially helpful to the novice, walks the reader through the whole publication process, from choosing the right journal to dealing with revisions and rejections. Levels of Technical Editing establishes a new system of editing that considers the special nature of technical documents and the unique responsibilities of those who edit them. Posters and Poster Sessions details how the skillful use of fonts and layout leads to clear and attractive displays and follows up with tips on transport and presentation. Editing Science Graphs explains the many graph forms available — from the simplest to the most sophisticated — and demonstrates how each should be applied and formatted. In Editing Grant Proposals, the technical aspects of putting a grant proposal into shape is enriched with pointers on dealing with research teams, deadlines, and angst.
