From Absolute Write:

As a college student, I came to appreciate the simplicity of writing term papers of a scientific nature due to the fact that there seemed to be a journal for every type of scientific discipline. Coupled with the ease of Internet search engines, and voilá-- it was possible to have a whole library at one's fingertips. After surviving graduate school and the dreaded thesis defense, I became interested in writing for science journals and publications for fun. I learned all too quickly that a rejection letter is nothing personal and could actually be quite helpful if viewed in the proper manner. I also can attest to the observation that editors can be our friends and teachers if you let them. The following are some tips and advice on how to write with success in the field of science.
