Writing Science: What Makes Scientific Writing Hard and How to Make It Easier - Grogan - 2021 - The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America. Introduction Writing is an integral part of science at every stage; it is how we outline a project idea, communicate with collaborators, draft a grant application, synthesize our insights into a manuscript, and share science beyond academia.

Yet, when training students to be scientists, we often focus exclusively on the scientific method and the work of data collection. We rarely talk about the equally important topic of writing about science (Reynolds and Thompson 2011, Turbek et al. 2016). When we do discuss writing with students, trainees, and peers, we emphasize the mechanics: how to structure a manuscript, the style conventions of scientific writing, and the submission process (Guilford 2001, Turbek et al. 2016). As a scientific community, we rarely discuss the actual act of scientific writing itself. 150,000 Botanical and Animal Illustrations Available for Free Download from Biodiversity Heritage Library.
