BE CLEAR – BE READABLE

How can I write a readable scientific article?

Wordiness, pomposity, ambiguity, bad punctuation and grammar are enemies of a readable scientific article. You should therefore make sure your language is concise, simple, precise and clear and also that the punctuation and grammar are correct.

We condensed years of scientific writing, editing and coaching experience into a few pages.

Reader Friendly Scientific Articles - Be clear - Be readable.

DESCRIPTION

You are about to write an article on the findings of your research, and you are rightly proud to communicate your findings to the rest of the scientific world. But have you ever thought about who will read your article and under what sort of conditions it will be read? Will your reader be so interested in your subject that he or she will have the time and patience to read a difficult sentence twice?

Your reader is just as busy as you are and, however important your findings are, he or she has no time to struggle through a badly written text. It is therefore of utmost importance that your writing is clear, well-structured and accessible to the target reader.

This book includes online exercises.

About the author

For over 30 years I have been teaching scientific writing at various European universities.
Since I am well aware that many scientist have trouble writing clearly, I have tried to help them write readable and well structured articles for publication.

The aim of this book is to give some examples of how to write a good abstract, introduction, discussion and conclusion as well as other sections of a scientific article. By way of exercises the researchers will be able to practice readability, vocabulary and  grammar.

Writers of science want an easy-to-use “recipe” to help them write journal articles.
