I wanted to write a medical paper and I was totally lost. This book helped me a lot in my mission. This book guided me through every step in the process of writing. What I like most about the book is that it gives a lot of real examples from published papers, gives you the chance to learn by giving you pre- and post-correction versions of texts, and finally, that it has a collection of useful phrases, expressions, and words to use when you feel yourself not able to express yourself. I read at least 2/3 of the book. I am planning certainly to read it all and review it always because I am currently considering it as my "research-guidance bible". I do not know if there are better books out there.

This book is very good. The best for writing papers. But for me, I think its too much. This should be used for a reference book. I will check this book later in the future hopefully.
