Hello,
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.
I very much like Joseph M. Williams "Style - towards clarity and grace". There are multiple editions, with some coming as a work book, but they all seem to be essentially equivalent. Note that the book is about (non-fiction) writing in general, not about writing scientific papers.
Hope this helps, Michael. -- Dr. Michael Kopp Postdoctoral researcher Mathematics and Biosciences Group Max F.
