Scientific communication is an essential aspect of the scientific process, encompassing the interpretation and documentation of scientific information and ideas, and their effective dissemination. It allows research knowledge to be evaluated by peers, shared, and made accessible to the scientific community. However, barriers such as lack of motivation, confidence, support systems, and skills can hinder the writing and publishing process. This manual is designed to provide practical guidance to individuals seeking to acquire or improve their skills for creating scientific publications, including research protocols, grant proposals, manuscripts, and conference presentations. It covers various aspects of scientific writing and offers valuable insights on how to identify appropriate avenues for the publication of research findings. The manual not only aims to enhance academic production, but also underscores the importance of sharing knowledge, advancing a specific discipline, and giving back to the scientific community. This chapter introduces the manual and provides a description of its structure and contents.
