Thanks to a suggestion from one of our users in the Surgery department, the Library has recently added the AMA Manual of Style to its eBook collection! This latest edition features detailed guidelines on authorship along with new and improved discussions on
- ethical and legal issues
- conflicts of interest
- scientific misconduct
- intellectual property
- the protection of individuals’ rights in scientific research and publication
- research ethics
- editorial independence
- indexing and searching, and
- medical nomenclature.
The text offers invaluable guidance on how to navigate the dilemmas that authors and researchers and their institutions, medical editors and publishers, and members of the news media who cover scientific research regularly confront.
The AMA Manual of Style may be accessed from our eBook A-Z Listing.
