How to Write a Good Scientific Paper Full Book

Abstract

How to Write a Good Scientific Paper by Chris A. Mack is a valuable resource for all students and faculty in science and engineering. SPIE is pleased to make it available here at no charge as a PDF eBook. As Dr. Mack explains, “Many scientists and engineers consider themselves poor writers or find the writing process difficult. The good news is that you do not have to be a talented writer to produce a good scientific paper, but you do have to be a careful writer. In particular, writing for a peer-reviewed scientific or engineering journal requires learning and executing a specific formula for presenting scientific work. This book is all about teaching the style and conventions of writing for a peer-reviewed scientific journal. From structure to style, titles to tables, abstracts to author lists, this book gives practical advice about the process of writing a paper and getting it published.”
