Writing and Publishing Scientific Papers: A Primer for the Non-English Speaker

by Gábor L. Lövei

About this book

Gábor L. Lövei guides researchers through the process of turning scientific work into a publishable paper, with particular attention to writers whose first language is not English. The book begins before drafting, considering the scientific literature, citation practices and the decisions that shape a manuscript’s purpose, audience and authorship.

Its central section works through the parts of a research paper, including titles, abstracts, introductions, methods, results and discussion. Separate chapters examine references, acknowledgements, figures and tables. Examples and commentary explain how presentation choices can make evidence easier to follow and help a paper communicate its argument clearly.

The final part follows a manuscript through submission, editorial handling, review, revision and acceptance. Lövei also discusses conference papers, review articles and book chapters. The emphasis is practical and sequential, offering early-career researchers and more experienced authors a guide to the conventions and working habits of scientific publishing.
