| Grammar errors impede comprehension and create a poor impression of your work. In addition, science writing has its own usage conventions, which can vary by discipline and journal. Science writers hoping to be published in high-impact journals need to be aware of basic usage conventions in their field. Fundamentals of Science Writing: Grammar and Usage covers the elements of grammar and usage that are most important in science writing, particularly for biomedical researchers. *This seminar will be recorded, and the video will be available on the WebClass. | |
