Write Like a Chemist is a unique guide to chemistry-specific
writing. Written with National Science Foundation support and
extensively piloted in chemistry courses nationwide, it offers a
structured approach to writing that targets four important
chemistry genres: the journal article, conference abstract,
scientific poster, and research proposal. Chemistry students,
post-docs, faculty, and other professionals interested in
perfecting their disciplinary writing will find it an indispensable
reference.
Users of the book will learn to write through a host of exercises,
ranging in difficulty from correcting single words and sentences to
writing professional-quality papers, abstracts, posters, and
proposals. The book's read-analyze-write approach teaches students
to analyze what they read and then write, paying attention to
audience, organization, writing conventions, grammar, and science
content, thereby turning the complex process of writing into
graduated, achievable tasks. Concise writing and organizational
skills are stressed throughout, and "move structures" teach
students conventional ways to present their stories of scientific
discovery. This resource includes over 350 excerpts from ACS
journal articles, ACS conference abstracts, and successful NSF
CAREER proposals, excerpts that will serve as useful models of
chemistry writing for years to come.
Other special features:
Usable in chemistry lab, lecture, and writing-dedicated courses
Useful as a writing resource for practicing chemists
Augmented by Language Tips that address troublesome areas of
language and grammer in a self-study format
