The transmission of information transcends time. Since the
beginning of humanity, people have shared stories, dreams, wishes,
and findings. Within a scientific context, the delivery of
information is especially important. Researchers have been sharing
their ideas and building on the work of others for as long as we
have studied our world. How can a researcher ensure their ideas
will be shared most effectively with the next generation, though?
In How Scientists Communicate, Alan Kelly accompanies readers
through the many processes of scholarly communication within the
field of science. The chapters include an analysis of modern
scientific communication, an overview of the historical development
of such communication, the nature and goals of a scientific
research paper, as well as practical and applicable information for
researchers. He explores scientific communication from various
perspectives, including the writing process, stages of writing,
evaluation through peer review, publication, and what happens
afterwards. This exploration into scientific writing emphasizes the
importance of readability and writing for the intended audience.
Kelly engages with landmark historical papers, but he doesn't shy
away from his own experiences and opinions. This treatise on the
art of scientific communication is interesting for readers with
various levels of experience, making this book a go-to resource for
anyone trying to share their ideas within the scientific community,
or interested in how the outputs of science impact our world.
