Scientific Writing: A Reader And Writer's Guide

A great guide for when your objective is to deliver an academic punch.

University drops the ball on how to write properly in science; Lubrun will not. No professor will sit down and teach you this stuff. This book is awesome.

If you are looking for a good guide book on scientific reading and writing, this is the answer to your request. This book will guide you step by step in getting the best out of your findings. It highlights a whole new set of personal skills, which can be acquired. This book starts with a reading toolkit. This toolkit provides the recipe to sustain the reader's attention and ensure continuous reading. The hands-on techniques Lebrun proposes are clear, practical, and proven to produce results in terms of clarity, conciseness, fluidity, organization, and convincing power of your writing. What is also unique in this book, is the collection of real life fun-to-read stories that reinforce the learning process. The second part of the book is where the writing process is described following a suggestive metaphor: the abstract is the heart of a paper, visuals are its voice, etc. The creativity in this book is seen throughout, even in its index section where qualities of writing are the main index categories under which the various methods to achieve them are gathered. To all I would say, this is the book for learning how good reading and good writing is. I truly enjoyed reading it, and refer to it frequently throughout my process of writing scientific articles. This book is the "translational toolkit" for good scientific data, from the bench to the readers.

I am a senior graduate student majoring in biology. I found this book extremely helpful especially for a senior graduate student--who has some writing experience but still somewhat at loss of how to do scientific writing. This book is also very humorous and fun to read, in addition to its many practially useful tips and hints.

This is an excellent introduction to scientific writing, itself written in a lively yet disciplined style. The many examples illustrate how to fix errors in scientific writing.

This is a great book. But this particular print amazon is sending, looks like a photocopy. I sent it back immediately.

非常にわかりやすくいい商品だと思います。お勧めです。
