 Scientific and Medical
Writing for Investigators
By: Nancy Parmely
Foreword by: William E. Russey, Ph.D.
.

Overview -
.
“…the skill of writing well is a skill that can be developed, and for those in
a profession that demands a considerable amount of painstaking writing
(as with virtually every scientist or medical professional engaged in
research, for example), time invested in improving one’s writing is
time very well-spent indeed.”
- From the Foreword by William E. Russey, Ph.D.
.
A fundamental purpose of writing is to be understood. To be truly understood, however, the writer’s message must be clear. Therefore, the goal of all good writers is to meet this demand for clarity by making their message as well-defined and understandable as possible.
.
The writer of science and medicine, however, faces an even greater demand. The expectation generally held out for scientific writers is that all discussion will be presented with an impeccable clarity that reflects their professional pursuit of scientific precision. In other words, it is expected that, for work that is precise, reporting on that work must be equally precise.
.
Though learning to express yourself with such true precision is demanding, acquiring this skill is well worth the effort– precision adds unique dimension to the value of clarity. Like a diamond cutter who uses precision to increase the clarity of a beautiful stone, scientific writers can use precision to highlight the value and relevance of their work. Those who successfully do so stand to benefit greatly from such high-quality writing and the endorsement that it will invariably receive.
.
This 159-page guide describes a focused effort to rapidly improve your ability to write with precision and style.
