About this ebook
“Enhanced with approximately 100 additional pages, this second edition is a testament to the success of the first one.” —Choice
For more than a decade, The Chicago Guide to Communicating Science has been the go-to reference for anyone who needs to write or speak about their research. Whether it’s a student writing a thesis, a faculty member composing a grant proposal, or a public information officer crafting a press release, Scott Montgomery’s advice is perfectly adaptable to any scientific writer’s needs.
This new edition has been thoroughly revised to address crucial issues in the changing landscape of scientific communication, with an increased focus on those writers working in corporate settings, government, and nonprofit organizations as well as academia. Half a dozen new chapters tackle the evolving needs and paths of scientific writers. These sections address plagiarism and fraud, writing graduate theses, translating scientific material, communicating science to the public, and the increasing globalization of research.
Through solid examples and concrete advice, Montgomery helps scientists develop their own voice and become stronger communicators. He also addresses the roles of media and the public in scientific attitudes, and offers advice for those whose research concerns controversial issues such as climate change or emerging viruses. Today, communicators must move seamlessly among platforms and styles. The Chicago Guide to Communicating Science helps scientists and researchers expertly connect with their audiences, no matter the medium.
