Success is not necessarily defined by getting papers into print but by getting them into the reader’s consciousness. Writing Science is built on the idea that successful science writing tells a story. It shows scientists and students how to present their research in a way that is clear and that will maximize reader comprehension. This book takes an integrated approach, using the principles of story structure to discuss every aspect of successful science writing, explaining how to write clear and professional sections, paragraphs and sentences. The final section deals with challenges such as how to discuss research limitations and write for the public.
