About the Book

Important research can be overlooked when its writing is unclear, its presentation lacks focus, or its message fails to reach the right audience. In this practical guide, Professor Mohamed A. Imam distils lessons from academic publishing, conference speaking, peer review, research funding, and career development into a clear field guide for researchers.

Written for PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, clinicians, engineers, scientists, and academics, the book explains how to shape strong ideas into clear papers, persuasive presentations, fundable proposals, memorable scientific communication, and a sustainable academic career.
