Gábor Lövei’s scientific communication course for students and scientists explores the intricacies involved in publishing primary scientific papers, and has been taught in more than twenty countries. Writing and Publishing Scientific Papers is the distillation of Lövei’s lecture notes and experience gathered over two decades; it is the coursebook many have been waiting for. The book’s three main sections correspond with the three main stages of a paper’s journey from idea to print: planning, writing, and publishing. Within the book’s chapters, complex questions such as ‘How to write the introduction?’ or ‘How to submit a manuscript?’ are broken down into smaller, more manageable problems that are then discussed in a straightforward, conversational manner, providing an easy and enjoyable reading experience. Writing and Publishing Scientific Papers stands out from its field by targeting scientists whose first language is not English. While also touching on matters of style and grammar, the book’s main goal is to advise on first principles of communication. This book is an excellent resource for any student or scientist wishing to learn more about the scientific publishing process and scientific communication. It will be especially useful to those coming from outside the English-speaking world and looking for a comprehensive guide for publishing their work in English.

How the digital revolution has shaped our language In the age of search, keywords increasingly organize research, teaching, and even thought itself. Inspired by Raymond Williams's 1976 classic Keywords, the timely collection Digital Keywords gathers pointed, provocative short essays on more than two dozen keywords by leading and rising digital media scholars from the areas of anthropology, digital humanities, history, political science, philosophy, religious studies, rhetoric, science and technology studies, and sociology. Digital Keywords examines and critiques the rich lexicon animating the emerging field of digital studies. This collection broadens our understanding of how we talk about the modern world, particularly of the vocabulary at work in information technologies. Contributors scrutinize each keyword independently: for example, the recent pairing of digital and analog is separated, while classic terms such as community, culture, event, memory, and democracy are treated in light of their historical and intellectual importance. Metaphors of the cloud in cloud computing and the mirror in data mirroring combine with recent and radical uses of terms such as information, sharing, gaming, algorithm, and internet to reveal previously hidden insights into contemporary life. Bookended by a critical introduction and a list of over two hundred other digital keywords, these essays provide concise, compelling arguments about our current mediated condition. Digital Keywords delves into what language does in today's information revolution and why it matters.

Scholars from various disciplines have used key concepts to grasp mobilities, but as of yet, a working vocabulary of these has not been fully developed. Given this context and inspired in part by Raymond Williams’ Keywords (1976), this edited volume presents contributions that critically analyze mobility-related keywords: capital, cosmopolitanism, freedom, gender, immobility, infrastructure, motility, and regime. Each chapter provides an historical context, a critical analysis of how the keyword has been used in relation to mobility, and a conclusion that proposes future usage or research.

Excerpt from Publications of Societies: A Provisional List of the Publications of American Scientific, Literary, and Other Societies; From Their Organization The imperfections of these contributions toward a bibliography of American publishing societies, which it is hoped may result ultimately in a really adequate bib liography, cannot be more evident to any critic than to those responsible for the publication. Many of these immrfections, however, are inseparable from any first attempt to gather into one compilation so much diverse material from so many inde pendent sources. In the case of early societies, no longer existing, nothing more could be done than to make the best of existing records, in the hope that the later cooperation of librarians, after the publication of the work, may be of help in filling evident gaps and may add unsuspected material. In the important permanent socie ties - which have existed for many years - the frequent change of officers and of addresses, where there are no permanent headquarters, libraries, or secretaries, has made it a task of especial difficulty to obtain continuous information from the be ginning, but a happy result of the inquiry, in many cases, has been to stimulate such societies toward a better bibliographical record of their own publications. Many such societies lack a complete file of their own issues. Some societies known to exist failed altogether to respond to the repeated inquiries for information, and in such cases nothing more could be done than to utilize the information that could be gleaned indirectly from existing bibliographies and from library shelves. In every case the endeavor has been made to send a proof of the list of each society to its proper officer, but in many cases these proofs were not returned or were returned without adequate examination and revision. The present bibliography covers over a thousand societies, but doubtless omits many societies which properly belong in such a list. It has been the endeavor to include all national, State, or general societies known or supposed to issue publications of general or technical interest. With some no list of issues is given in these cases no word was obtainable from the society, and it is possible that such are not really publishing societies. It has not been attempted to include county medical associations, teachers' institutes, and such bodies, whose numbers are legion, though they may semi-occasionally issue publications; nor societies or institutions issuing merely reports of their own affairs, unless, like the Prison Association, Charity Organization societies, etc., these bear upon general public questions; nor catalogues of colleges, libraries, etc., unless they have historical or other special value; nor those of art or other exhibitions - but it has been very difficult to draw any satisfactory line between inclusion and exclusion.
