Scientific writing
•not just writing about science;
•is the technical writing that scientists do to communicate their research
to others;
•Scientific writing is predicated on the rigours of scientific inquiry, so it
must reflect the same precision as that demanded in the research
process. So scientific communication demands precision (the precise
use of words and phrases)
SCIENTIFIC WRITING
Communicating facts, figures, and methods used in research––as well as
the description of the results––has to be precise and exact. The research
question, hypotheses, methods, analysis, and conclusions must be stated
clearly and simply
