A guide to publication strategy in medicine. It covers the ethics, conventions and often unwritten rules of publishing in peer-reviewed journals and at conferences.

Some journals reject over ninety percent of the articles submitted to them and may take more than six months to come to a decision. This reference book gives advice on how to choose the right journal, how to avoid delays, authorship disputes and many other problems associated with publishing.
