Publishing your research in an international journal is key to your success in academia. This guide is based on a study of over 1000 manuscripts and reviewers' reports revealing why papers written by non-native researchers are often rejected due to problems with English usage and poor structure and content. 

With easy-to-follow rules and tips, and examples taken from published and unpublished papers, you will learn how to:

• prepare and structure a manuscript
  
• increase readability and reduce the number of mistakes you make in English by writing concisely, with no redundancy and no ambiguity
  
• write a title and an abstract that will attract attention and be read
  
• decide what to include in the various parts of the paper (Introduction, Methodology, Discussion etc)
  
• highlight your claims and contribution
  
• avoid plagiarism
  
• discuss the limitations of your research
  
• choose the correct tenses and style
  
• satisfy the requirements of editors and reviewers
  

This new edition contains over 40% new material, including two new chapters, stimulating factoids, and discussion points both for self-study and in-class use.
