The third edition of this book aims to equip both young and
experienced researchers with all the tools and strategy they will
need for their papers to not just be accepted, but stand out in the
crowded field of academic publishing. It seeks to question and
deconstruct the legacy of existing science writing, replacing or
supporting historically existing practices with principle- and
evidence-driven styles of effective writing. It encourages a
reader-centric approach to writing, satisfying reader-scientists at
large, but also the paper's most powerful readers, the reviewer and
editor. Going beyond the baseline of well-structured scientific
writing, this book leverages an understanding of human
physiological limitations (memory, attention, time) to help the
author craft a document that is optimized for readability.Through
real and fictional examples, hands-on exercises, and entertaining
stories, this book breaks down the critical parts of a typical
scientific paper (Title, Abstract, Introduction, Visuals,
Structure, and Conclusions). It shows at great depth how to achieve
the essential qualities required in scientific writing, namely
being clear, concise, convincing, fluid, interesting, and
organized. To enable the writer to assess whether these parts are
well written from a reader's perspective, the book also offers
practical metrics in the form of six checklists, and even an
original Java application to assist in the evaluation.
