The book uses analysis of the scientific article genre to provide clear processes for writing each section of a manuscript, starting with clear 'story' construction and packaging of results. Each learning step uses practical exercises to develop writing and data presentation skills based on reader analysis of well-written example papers. Strategies are presented for responding to referee comments, and for developing discipline-specific English language skills for manuscript writing and polishing. The book is designed for scientists who use English as a first or an additional language, and for individual scientists or mentors or a class setting. In response to reader requests, the new edition includes review articles and the full range of research article formats, as well as applying the book's principles to writing funding applications. 606 $aTechnical writing 606 $aResearch 606 $aScience news 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTechnical writing. 615 0$aResearch. 615 0$aScience news. 676 $a808.06/65 700 $aCargill$b Margaret$0471596 701 $aO'Connor$b Patrick$f1967-$0524966 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452998303321 996 $aWriting scientific articles$92159416 997 $aUNINA
