Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This short guide shows students how to tackle the machanical problems that most science writers face from a scientific perspective. Integrating writing with the thinking practices required in science, this book gives students a step-by-step guide to writing lab notebooks, lab reports, formal research papers, and science essays. The text also explains the different styles required of various parts of a science paper, from the introduction, conclusion, and interpretation of data sections to the methods, and materials, and presentation of data sections. Finally, the text contains several examples and illustrations from professional science journals in such disciplines as chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer science, and engineering.
