Struggling with writing and submitting scientific papers in English?
This book provides clear, bilingual (English & Japanese) answers to the most common questions researchers face when preparing manuscripts for international journals.
While many resources on manuscript writing exist, this bilingual guide is specifically designed to support non-native English speakers. It offers practical advice and solutions in both English and Japanese, ensuring ease of understanding for researchers at every stage of their manuscript submission journey.
With over a decade of experience helping Japanese researchers publish in prestigious journals (Nature, Scientific Reports, BMC Cancer, The Journal of Physiology, PLOS ONE, and more), I’ve gathered real challenges scientists encounter—from grammar and style to submission strategies—and compiled practical, easy-to-apply solutions in one place.
