I think these two resources are excellent: 1. Simon Peyton Jones, How to Write a Great Research Paper https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/academic-program/write-great-research-paper/ https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/academic-program/wr... 2. Larry McEnerney’s writing workshop https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vtIzMaLkCaM https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vtIzMaLkCaM These focus on writing papers, and get as close to talking about “scientific” writing as any resources I have seen. But I think good general writing advice will help with scientific writing, too. The book “Style: Towards Clarity and Grace” may be useful for that. I would also suggest that it is important to remember, even in technical writing, that you are telling a story. The more you practice your storytelling, the better your papers will be. Besides jargon, I see two common problems in the papers I read. (I am an art history student, but I expect this is not unique to my field.) 1. I read too many articles that fail to get me excited about where they are going. They tell me what they will say, but not why I should care. 2. I read too many essays that fail to conclude with applications, take-aways, or next steps. Please don’t just give A Novel Approach To Dragon Slaying. Show me the villagers suffering from the dragon’s violence. Then show me how to slay the dragon. And don’t end with the dead dragon—end with the fireworks the villagers light in celebration.
