Scientific writing. The Write Stuff 2009;18(2):69–72. This editorial relates to an entire issue of The Write Stuff dedicated to scientific writing. It is an extra large issue of a valuable journal that in itself represents a reference point for editors and translators at different levels, both experienced and novice. It discusses current practices of writing and gives guidance on improving writing styles, but it also contains provocative view points on controversial issues and a rich and updated bibliography. © Copyright 2009 by European Association of Science Editors Top of Page |
