Preface 

One truth holds true for all scientists: publication is hard currency. It is the means for disseminating ideas and results, it is critical for academic success, and it remains a difficult skill to master. It is equally hard to methodically teach these skills. In 1994, I established an ongoing interdisciplinary research meeting to generate ideas, projects, and publications. In 2001, I formed the Authorship Conference, in Korea, to specifically teach junior professors, fellows, residents, students, technologists, and nurses how to prepare scientific papers. This spread to Authorship Conferences in universities in Japan and China, until my retirement in 2019. Thereafter, I ran similar conferences at the University of Texas in San Antonio and at the Hospital Max Peralta in Costa Rica for two years. 

During my academic career, I have mentored more than one thousand doctors, medical students, technologists and nurses through lectures and Authorship Conferences. This approach has proven repeatedly successful at improving the writing productivity and publication of scientific colleagues. Publication drives scientific progress. Training colleagues in research and publication, launches the next generation of scientists and extends the future lifespan of publications. To that end, the objective of this book is to provide readers with a sort of Authorship Conference course of their own-- a practical guide to developing their own scientific writing careers, unhindered by a potential lack of local mentoring. 

I am enjoying my post-retirement life, learning new things from smart people, and using my own experiences and expertise to benefit young doctors and students abroad. I have realized that any place where enthusiastic doctors and students are found can be my home, and I am devoted to improving humanity by improving scientific communication and inspiring future researchers. I humbly hope this book will serve you in advancing your own endeavors. 

This book is divided into six sections:

Section 1: How to Write a Scientific Paper Section 2: Examples of Writing a Research Paper Section 3: Seven Tips on Writing Scientific Papers in English Section 4: How to Conduct Authorship Conference Section 5: What I Have Learned from the Research and Authorship Conference with Prof. Song Section 6: From Submission to Publication. 

I am delighted to write this book together with 10 of my great mentees. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my mentor, Prof. Ziv J. Haskal, who wrote the Foreword.
