This book is a collection of article-based series which originally have been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals in English and in German. It provides authors with clear and concise key information on 12 major parts of the process, from how to get started to dealing with reviewers’ comments. We describe each part succinct and easy-to-read, structured into background information (‘‘What you should know’’), concrete advice (‘‘What you should do’’), and a checklist of the main points to consider. Authors can read the book as a whole but can also use it as a reference book to look-up advice for a particular part while writing.

This book is also available in a paper-based version, entitled: “Effective scientific writing an publishing – A quick guide in English, Dutch, and German” (ISBN: 9789090319216). The book also contains the article-based series which originally have been published in English and German, but also in Dutch. The book can be ordered for only €10 by sending an e-mail to op1lijn@maastrichtuniversity.nl.

With the information from our books authors from the medical and health sciences increase their joy in writing papers and their effectiveness in getting them published in good journals.

You will also find information on this website about a 2-day course on effective writing and publishing scientific papers which we organise about once a year in a beautiful country lodge in the green Limburg Heuvelland (the Netherlands).
