Study Notes
Scientific Valorization
- Valorization is making something valuable or useful, specifically capturing value from scientific insights for industry and society.
- Valorization involves making scientific knowledge accessible and usable by industry and society.
- The creation of scientific, social and political impact comes via research findings from all fields.
Valorization is...
- Knowledge becomes more widely accessible.
- Diverse social groups are involved.
- Scientific knowledge exchange takes place.
- It is an interactive (and indirect) process.
- It is beneficial for society at large.
Open Science & Citizen Science
- Open Science includes large infrastructure, open access to publications, altmetrics, accessibility to research processes, transdisciplinarity, and transparency.
- Citizen Science includes citizen observatories, inclusiveness, scientific citizenship and scientific culture.
Metrics
- Citations are a key metric, with 84 citations.
- Field-weighted citation impact is at 15.61, showing significant scholarly impact.
Scientific Communication
- Science dissemination happens within the scientific community amongst experts in an area.
- Academic communication involves people involved in practicing science, intimately linked with their scientific method of working.
Scientific Writing
- Scientific writing is a technical form that scientifically informs other scientists via written documents, books, or presentations.
- It requires thorough research and precise wording.
- Grant requests, peer reviews, and summarized findings may be part of a scientific writing piece.
- Scientific writing is about scientific research, professional scientists, published in academic journals, peer-reviewed, written for other scientists
Styles of Academic Writing
- Descriptive Writing: Introduces facts and information to the reader. (e.g., descriptions of people, places, etc)
- Analytical Writing: Analyzes a topic to understand better (most academic writing is analytical).
- Persuasive Writing: Persuades the reader to adopt a particular point of view.
- Critical Writing: Shows in-depth understanding of a topic.
Standardization
- Scientific writing adheres to a strict structure, heavy on jargon and references.
- Typical structure includes: abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, conclusion, and references.
Research Article Structure
- Research articles have a specific structure, with a title/abstract/introduction progressing to the main content. The structure guides from promotion through the title, abstract to the full article.
Scientific Methods
- Scientific methods involve asking a question, doing background research, constructing a hypothesis, testing with an experiment, analyzing data & drawing conclusions, and communicating results.
- Scientists troubleshoot procedures, checking steps, and using experimental data.
Scientific Writing Examples
- Examples include research papers (in-depth studies), essays (structured arguments), dissertations (extensive research projects), theses (master's research papers), lab reports (experiment documentation), and literature reviews (summaries of existing research).
Further Examples
- Includes book reviews, conference papers, journal articles (academic journal publications), proposals (plans for consideration), review articles, emphasizing summaries and research synthesis
- Important skills needed are intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, analytical skills and time management, combined with efficiency, precision &conciseness.
Things to Avoid
- This section is for identifying things to avoid for academic writing.
Additional Resources
- Offers URLs to resources with helpful advice regarding research papers, academic writing, scientific writing principles, and scientific papers.
