Telling people about research is just as important as doing it. But
many competent researchers are wary of scientific writing, despite
its importance for sharpening scientific thinking, advancing their
career, obtaining funding for their work and growing the prestige
of their institution. This second edition of David Lindsay's
popular book Scientific Writing = Thinking in Words presents a way
of thinking about writing that builds on the way good scientists
think about research. The simple principles in this book will help
you to clarify the objectives of your work and present your results
with impact. Fully updated throughout, with practical examples of
good and bad writing, an expanded chapter on writing for
non-scientists and a new chapter on writing grant applications,
this book makes communicating research easier and encourages
researchers to write confidently. It is an ideal reference for
researchers preparing journal articles, posters, conference
presentations, reviews and popular articles; for students preparing
theses; and for researchers whose first language is not English.
Features Makes it easy to understand what goes where in scientific
publications and, equally importantly, why Reinforces principles
with examples of good and bad writing Addresses new issues for
publishing, including open access and predatory journals Emphasises
writing effectively in other media that scientists must use,
including conference papers, posters, theses, reviews, popular
articles and grant applications Explains the principles behind
writing and how it affects readers rather than proposing recipes
for good writing
