About the author

The problem

The solution

“If you can’t explain it simply, you do not understand it well enough.”

– Albert Einstein –

A new mindset

In the professional world of scientific communication, your readers want to learn something from you, the writer. In other words, you are a “teacher.” In the book I encourage you to think of your article as an educational document that focusses on your take-home messages, supported by the details of your study.

A template

Within the standard IMRaD framework for scientific articles the book presents a template to organize your take-home messages and the supporting details. 

Techniques to build reader-friendly sentences and paragraphs

Readers want to easily understand your text. The book presents techniques to write to-the-point and logically linked sentences and paragraphs that focus on your study, its outcome and its consequences.

Book review SENSE

Ed has drawn on his experience as a researcher and teacher of scientific writing to develop an effective strategy for writing clear, well-written research articles – something which is sorely needed in academia. His ideas are well presented and easy to follow and should benefit native English-speaking and ESL authors alike.
