Writing for Science 3rd edition

  • Gives the basic requirements for writing scientific and technical reports and essays.
  • Provides examples, with explanatory notes, of the various types of technical and scientific reports.
  • Describes and provides solutions for common style problems, in a direct and easily understood way.
  • Covers the writing of documents required to get a job, together with samples of the various types of accompanying letters.

Review of the first edition '...the only essential course preparation. While aimed at writing refuseniks, know-it-alls from across the great divide should take a peek...The chapter on style problems is a real eye-opener. Buy a copy and the journals who later publish your research will thank their lucky stars.' New Scientist, 1 March 1997.
