One of the assignment for this class is to follow the outline of a scientific paper. A typical outline for a research article includes these sections:
Articles published in peer-reviewed journals undergo a rigorous evaluation (or review) by experts in the field (the author's peers) and meet a high academic standard.
Science writing can take many forms: literature reviews, popular science articles, peer-reviewed articles in journals. Keep in mind that the purpose of your writing added to the specific audience you're writing for will guide your content or the format of your writing.
Some tips to keep in mind
| Be precise | Use third or first person pronouns | Use active voice | Use short sentences | Limit quantifiers and subordinate clauses |
| Avoid jargon and acronyms | Use transitions | Check grammar | Be consistent when describing the same thing |
