Reviews for Guide to Publishing a Scientific Paper

[Ann Korners' book is...] well written and offers much useful advice... It is rare that Korner's advice does not apply to any potential paper. --British Journal of Educational Technology This is a brief book with some solid advice for scientists and their editors on how to prepare a successful journal manuscript. I would recommend it for your bookshelf. --Tom Warren, Technical Communication (November 2009), Vol. 56, No. 4:410-411
