Develop your scientific writing skills so you can deliver high quality, clear and compelling documents to your clients.
In the Scientific Writing course, we examined the basic principles of clarity and readability in scientific texts and covered some of the fundamental scientific style conventions.
Now in this more advanced, three-part course, we will build on these foundations and look at how you can write scientific documents that are clear and compelling.
The training will include assignments and group work to help you develop your scientific writing skills and you will learn how to:
- Improve the overall structure of a scientific text
- Write sentences (including longer sentences) that are easy to read
- Construct clear paragraphs that are properly structured
- Use signposts/transition words to link sentences and paragraphs together and meet the reader’s needs and expectations
- Use rhetorical structures to present ideas, arguments, and information in a coherent and logical way
- How to deal with numbers and units and present quantitative information clearly and correctly in the text and in tables/figures
- Work with scientific units and citations
This is a stand-alone course and completion of Science Writing is not essential. Some experience working with scientific texts is useful, but beginners are also welcome.
The course will be particularly useful for editors and translators who work on research articles, but the principles can also be applied to other texts.
