Lauren Shepherd Foege N303 REU Communications Class The Science of Science Writing

Quotes on Scientific Writing Write for a scientist in another field. Don't underestimate your readers' intelligence, but don't overestimate their knowledge of a particular field. When writing about science, don't simplify the science; simplify the writing. Julie Ann Miller, Editor of Science News One way to find out if you have succeeded (in writing clearly) is to show your draft to colleagues in other specialties. If they do not understand, neither, very probably, will The Lancet's staff. The Lancet

Objectives 1.Disseminate knowledge 2.Communicate finding 3.Provide record of work

Significance Establish expertise Build reputation

Types of Articles Review - summarize field Research - original findings Brief communication - “hot method”

Introduction Survey field Review status Construct motivation Background Objective How you fit in Hypothesis What’s novel

Materials and Methods Describe and cite (general reader) Enough detail for peers to reproduce Supplemental information (expert)

Results ‘Big picture’ description of experiments Present the Data

Results Present in logical order Support objectives and hypotheses Present analyzed data Integrate text and data

Discussion Examine and explain results Place results in context Discuss implications ( theoretical & practical ) Summarize evidence for conclusions Discuss − do not repeat − Results

Acknowledgments Facilities Significant assistance discussions physical and technical reagents or supplies Funding
