Material for Writers


Scientific and medical writing can seem the end point of research. If you do not publish you do your research only for yourself and a restricted group of people. Publishing has also become a way of measuring how well you are working; the more you publish, the better is your research.


You need to read the material published by others (almost all papers are published in English) so that you will not copy what others are doing and will be able to build on the research of others.

Here you can find material that is aimed to help you write better English and thus have a greater possibility of publishing. Much material on this site is also aimed to help you understand and use English better.
