Purchase options and add-ons

Telling people about research is just as important as doing it. But many competent researchers are wary of scientific writing, despite its importance for sharpening scientific thinking, advancing their career, obtaining funding for their work and growing the prestige of their institution.

This second edition of David Lindsay's popular book Scientific Writing = Thinking in Words presents a way of thinking about writing that builds on the way good scientists think about research. The simple principles in this book will help you to clarify the objectives of your work and present your results with impact. Fully updated throughout, with practical examples of good and bad writing, an expanded chapter on writing for non-scientists and a new  chapter on writing grant applications, this book makes communicating research easier and encourages researchers to write confidently.

Product description

Review

"Scientific Writing = Thinking in Words appears in its second updated edition to expand the basic principles about writing and scientific research that will help scientists impart the basics of their work. Examples of good and bad writing, a expanded chapter for non-scientists interested in science writing, and a new chapter on tackling grant applications add to the powerful focus of a book that will appeal to a research community traditionally leery of putting their findings and results in writing for maximum impact and attention. Whether the reader is preparing a journal article, advertisement, or for a presentation, or even if they are just science students producing papers, Scientific Writing = Thinking in Words is a powerful key to success and offers many examples and strategies for more effective communications."

-- "Midwest Book Review"

    5.0 out of 5 stars The reference book on scientific writing in my opinion
    Reviewed in France on 29 May 2023
    Verified Purchase
    I've read many books on scientific writing, and this one is the reference to me. The improvements added to the first edition are not huge, but nevertheless useful (i.e., the part on proposals). If you feel you need to improve your writing clarity, take this book ! And if you can afford more, Zaumanis's Peer recognized series on writing and making vizualizaton will do a great complement.
