This clear, readable volume provides visually intensive guidance at every step-from the construction of original figures to the presentation and delivery of those figures in papers, slideshows, posters, and websites. It provides pragmatic advice on the preparation and delivery of exceptional scientific presentations; demonstrates hundreds of visually striking presentation techniques, giving readers inspiration for creating their own; and is structured so that readers can easily find answers to particular questions.

Explaining how to understand and summarize a research project, this book demonstrates in detail how to compose the sections of a scientific paper. It leads you through the drafts that are needed to build a thorough, clear science article. It also discusses why each section of a science paper requires its particular form of information, and shows how to put your data and your arguments into the specific form. Importantly, this writing manual recognizes that experiments in different disciplines need different presentations, and is illustrated with examples from well-written papers on a wide variety of scientific subjects.

Developed by the Council of Science Editors (CSE), the leading professional association in science publishing, this guide encompasses all areas of the sciences. Scientific Style and Format citation style are covered in this title, and its style recommendations align with the advice of authoritative international bodies. It includes guidelines and examples for citing online images and information graphics, podcasts and webcasts, online videos, blogs, social networking sites, and e-books. Additionally, a full discussion of plagiarism and other aspects of academic integrity is incorporated, along with a complete treatment of developments in copyright law, including Creative Commons.

A comprehensive range of skills are covered - from making the most of practicals, lectures and group work, through to writing and presentation skills, and effective revision for exams. An expanded chapter on employability offers invaluable advice for getting a job in today's competitive market. Written by leading experts in science education, this text is essential reading for any undergraduate chemistry student wishing to succeed at university get the most out of their degree after graduation.

This guide thoroughly examines electronic tools now available to assist scientific, technical, and medical (STM) writers in preparing manuscripts and communicating with publishers. It includes discussions of markup languages, citation of electronic sources, online submission of manuscripts, and preparation of figures, tables, and structures. It also provides invaluable insight on ethics in scientific communication, the editorial process, copyright, conventions in chemistry, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and writing style for any STM author, reviewer, or editor.

This is the guide that teaches science students and scientists alike how to improve the clarity, cogency, and communicative power of their words and images. Organized topically with information on the structural elements and the style of scientific communications, each chapter draws on models of past successes and failures to show students and practitioners how best to negotiate the world of print, online publication, and oral presentation.

Dr. Silyn-Roberts explains in plain English the steps to writing abstracts, theses, journal papers, funding bids, literature reviews, and more. The book also examines preparing seminar and conference presentations. Written in a practical and easy to follow style specifically for postgraduate students in Engineering and Sciences, this book is essential in learning how to create powerful documents.

The booklet provides an informative step-by-step guide on everything you need to know, from the practicalities of actually getting started, through to completion and submission. Practical tips on how best to write up each section of your thesis are offered: asking a "non-science" friend to proof-read your work, ways to improve and revise your text and factors to consider when drawing your diagrams are examples indicative of the type of advice given throughout the text. The guide finishes with a number of useful resources for further guidance, and even points to future employment possibilities after completion of your thesis.
