Article from the journal Clinical Chemistry.

This article, by Joseph A Gallian, appeared in 2006 in the magazine Math Horizons, published by the Mathematical Association of America. Although the article is intended mainly for readers giving presentations in mathematics, much of the content also applies to giving presentations in other fields.

This article, by John E McCarthy, appeared in the Canadian Mathematical Society NOTES in 1999 and was reprinted by the American Mathematical Society. Although the article focuses on the type of mathematics presentation called a colloquium, many of the ideas in it also apply to giving other types of scholarly presentations.

Chapter from Editing and Publication: A Training Manual, by Ian Montagnes.

Syllabus for 3-week intensive course given at Texas A&M University in summer 2009. Lists presentation topics, reading assignments, and writing assignments. Can be adapted for courses meeting less frequently over longer times. For more information, see the AuthorAID "News & Updates" entry for 27 June 2009.

Written as a companion to Editing and Publication: A Training Manual (also in the AuthorAID Resource Library), this handbook provides guidance in planning and giving training courses on science editing and related subjects. It also includes exercises suitable for such courses. The handbook is easy to read.

Intended mainly for "editors and publication officers at research institutes and extension agencies" in developing countries, this easy-to-read manual contains much good advice. The chapters on editing are are especially good; some other parts, such as those on printing and photography, are now out of date, as the technology has changed since the manual appeared in 1991. This manual, published by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), was written by editor Ian Montagnes as part of a training project. It contains many examples from agriculture.
