Study Notes
Elements of Scientific Research
- Key components of scientific research include the title, introduction, literature review, references, discussion, and statistics.
Scientific Writing: Clarity
- Research should clearly and unambiguously communicate the author's intended meaning to the reader.
- Text should be understandable, mathematical symbols defined, and figures/tables easily comprehended.
- Clarity is viewed from the reader's perspective.
- Readers should never be uncertain about the subject of the discussion or the reasoning behind it.
Scientific Writing: Conciseness
- Omit irrelevant information focused on the results and conclusion.
- Research quality is often inversely proportional to research length.
- Readers prioritize quick access to conclusions and supporting evidence.
- Provide sufficient detail for clear comprehension of the research without unnecessary verbiage.
Scientific Writing: Continuity
- Maintain a smooth flow between sentences, paragraphs, sections, and figures/tables.
- Strategically position references to avoid distractions (preferably at the beginning or end of discussions).
- Writing pace should be manageable (neither too slow nor too fast) to allow readers to grasp the information effectively.
Scientific Writing: Objectivity
- Data evaluation should be honest and unbiased, without hidden meanings.
- Acknowledge research deficiencies openly and straightforwardly.
- Clearly communicate assumptions, potential errors, and areas of uncertainty.
- If presenting conflicting results, present them tactfully, avoiding dogmatic statements and egotistical language.
