Publishing research results is an integral part of every researcher's professional life. The value of research and the career of a university lecturer depend heavily on the success in publishing scientific papers. As professionals engaged in some aspect of wildlife science, a significant amount of time will be spent communicating with other professionals through writing.

This book gives an introduction to basic issues of writing to say the least, and organising scientific papers, and getting them published.
