Given, however, that different fields have different conventions for writing style, we have found it difficult to recommend a specific book or source material as the ?go to? guide to young scientists in agriculture and natural resources. Having been involved as authors, reviewers, and editors of various journals and publications during the past few decades, we have come to the conclusion that writing a scientific paper is a tedious task for not only us, but most writers. While that is true even for experienced writers, it is a sort of nightmare for the early career professionals such as students, trainees, scientists, and scholars in agriculture and natural resources, especially when their first language of communication is not English. Their trials, tribulations, and frustrations are compounded by the severe pressure they experience from the increasing importance attached to authoring scientific publications (in English). This book is targeted mainly to that group. The ten short chapters of the book are organized in four parts. The first, ?Essentials for good writing,? contains four chapters that emphasize the importance of publishing research results, review briefly the various types of scientific publications and other important features of scientific writing. The second part that includes two chapters deals with the use and misuse of English as the international language of science. Manuscript preparation and submission is the scope of the third part that also has two chapters. Part 4 is about communication of research results through oral and poster presentations to the peer groups at conferences and meetings. Finally, a list of references and recommended reading is included.  . 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aSoil science 606 $aClimatology 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aHumanities 606 $aEcology 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aSoil Science 606 $aClimate Sciences 606 $aHumanities and Social Sciences 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aSoil science. 615 0$aClimatology. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 0$aHumanities. 615 0$aEcology. 615 14$aAgriculture. 615 24$aSoil Science. 615 24$aClimate Sciences. 615 24$aHumanities and Social Sciences. 615 24$aEnvironmental Sciences. 676 $a50 676 $a500 676 $a551.6 676 $a570 700 $aNair$b P.K.
