Inside this issue: Scientific writing
In this issue, the CCDR Editorial Office begins a series of articles on scientific writing. The goal of this series is to identify best reporting practices for different types of manuscripts in order to facilitate efficient manuscript development and review, and produce high quality articles that are a pleasure to read. These guides are consistent with those found on the EQUATOR Network and have been adapted for writing and reporting about infectious diseases. In addition, read about the public health response to the recent avian influenza outbreaks among poultry in British Columbia and enjoy a riveting eye-witness account of what it was like to work in a laboratory as part of an Ebola outbreak response team in West Africa.
