| Abstract
|
:
|
The ability to write clearly is critical to any scientific career. This book provides practical advice to help scientists become more effective writers so that their ideas have the greatest possible impact. Drawing on his own experience as a scientist, graduate adviser, and editor, the author emphasizes that the goal of all scientific writing should be absolute clarity, that good writing takes deliberate practice, and that what many scientists need are not long lists of prescriptive rules but rather direct engagement with their behaviors and attitudes when they write. The book combines advice on such topics as how to generate and maintain writing momentum with practical tips on structuring a scientific paper, revising a first draft, handling citations, responding to peer reviews, managing coauthorships, and more. The author explains essential techniques that students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career scientists need to write more clearly, efficiently, and easily.
