Writing scientific publications is a fundamental step in the
research process. Furthermore, as science becomes more
interdisciplinary and the number of journals continues to expand,
individual papers increasingly need to stand out to be read and
have any form of impact. It is widely assumed that students and
early career scientists will simply acquire the necessary
expertise. However, this could not be further from the truth - many
early career scientists find writing both intimidating and
overwhelming; writing is a skill that needs to be learnt and
actively developed. This novel book's fundamental principle is
simple - the reader must come first. The purpose of a scientific
paper is to pass on knowledge, and so impactful writing must focus
on attracting, holding, and illuminating readers. The authors
demonstrate how just a few simple pointers can significantly
improve both writing quality and impact. They tackle each component
of a paper in turn, providing a simple framework that makes clear
what needs to be included (and what doesn't!), and in what order.
They also provide advice for writing up different types of science,
from laboratory experiments to theoretical modelling. The focus
throughout is on the need to use simple, jargon-free English, and
to assume that the reader has little or no prior knowledge. In
summary, the book is about writing better scientific papers that
are more likely to be read and have impact. Scientific Papers Made
Easy is targeted at a broad audience of students and professionals,
across the biological, life, and human sciences. It uses simple
biological and human examples that assume no prior knowledge and
will resonate with any scientist.
