Dear Lyne,
I have "tried" several books on writing and must definitely say that
this one
Cargill M, O´Connor P: Writing Scientific Research Articles: Strategy
and Steps, 1 edn: Blackwell Publishing; 2009.184p.
is reeeeaally good! Because it is about the "process of writing", about
how to structure a good introduction etc. etc.
Best thing is that they analyse two real articles and compare them with
their suggestions.
best,
Jens

Dear ECOLOGers,
I was wondering if any of you would have some suggestion on books or texts providing tips on how
to improve scientific writing. I have read George Gopen�s book (The sense of structure, writing from
the reader's perspective; 2004, Pearson Longman editors) and recommend it, but I would like to
know if there are any other good references out there.
Thanks in advance for your help!
