Writing science is more than telling people about research results: it is telling stories about how science works. This book is extremely comprehensive and insightful. The structure of each chapter is concise and engaging and Professor Joshua Schimel changes our basic perception of the importance of communicating science.
This book deals with science-story structure and offers an outstanding framework for writing successful scientific papers and proposals. The aim of this book is to ‘show scientists and students how to present their research in a way which is clear and that will maximize reader comprehension’. The author gives in fact an exhaustive overview of the strategies and effective approaches to write successful scientific texts and reports. He also treats some of the most common weaknesses and problems that are present in scientific papers and proposals, explaining how they could be improved.
The volume has 21 chapters and 2 appendices. After a clear and concise introductory chapter, the first half of the book concentrates on the structure of the scientific story, giving emphasis to the importance of the story-telling aspect of writing. The second section of the book deals with the internal structure of the article; and how to write a clear and coherent paper. The final section targets some specific topics, such as writing for the public. Writing science is just the right title reflecting the contents of this book.
