Abstract

Publication of scientific work is an integral part of every researcher's professional life. Science progression, dissemination of research findings, health care improvement and self-promotion are some of the motivations why researchers have to write and publish their work. Unfortunately, the task of proper scientific writing and publication is not an easy one and can only be improved with regular practice. For the beginners, writing in a scientific style can be a daunting process. In addition picking the right journal is a crucial part of getting the work accepted for publication. This may require a wide knowledge of the technical requirements of each scientific journal. The aim of this chapter is to provide the reader with some fundamental guidelines to assist authors in acquiring the necessary skills to write a scientific paper and getting it published.
