This book is divided into three parts, all of which have been updated for this new edition. Part 1, "A Primer on Writing and Publishing," describes the basics of publishing, from generating a great idea and writing the article to revising your manuscript and sharing your work. This section is packed with information on how to bolster the chance that your manuscript will be accepted for publication. Part 2, "Tips for Writing Different Types of Articles," is where you can apply what you learned in Part 1. Each chapter takes you through writing a particular type of paper or article, including clinical articles, research reports, review articles, books, personal narratives, continuing education, and materials for consumers. You can dip into the relevant chapter in Part 2 depending on your writing goals. Part 3, the appendices, has a wealth of resources, including checklists and tools.
