Riassunto

The AMA Manual of Style is a must-have guide for those seeking to publish research findings and anyone involved in medical or scientific publishing. But more than just a style manual, it offers guidance on how to navigate the dilemmas that authors, researchers and their institutions, medical editors and publishers, and members of the news media who cover scientific research confront on a daily basis. Written by an expert committee of JAMA and Archives editors, this 10th edition thoroughly covers ethical and legal issues, authorship, conflicts of interest, scientific misconduct, and intellectual property, in addition to preparation of articles for publication, style, terminology, measurement, and quantification.
Customers who purchase the Special Online Bundle Package receive the hardcover 10th edition, as well as a one-year subscription to the Online Edition.

The essential tool for physicians and other health professionals. In addition to the basics of grammar and citation, it leads writers through the thickets of abbreviation, nomenclature, and quantitation. (Booklist)

The manual is comprehensive and detailed, and I can't think of a single relevant aspect of medical and scientific writing that is not covered here. (Doody's, a 5 star review)

For medical writers and editors, the AMA Manual of Style remains the unrivaled point of departure. (Copyediting)

The manual is thorough and authoritative...the content is carefully referenced, and the references on all topics are impressively up-to-date. (The Journal of the European Medical Writers Association)

The manual's expository style is exemplary. It is relaxed and unpretentious...The manual covers impressive new territory. (The Editorial Eye)
