Dear Colleagues,
Maria Camacho recently drew my attention to the free Guide to Scientific Writing published by the journal Clinical Chemistry. Much of the material in this guide also applies to design research.
The guide is available in English, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, and Japanese.
You’ll find the full guide with links at:
http://www.aacc.org/publications/clin_chem/ccgsw/Pages/default.aspx
The guide is useful to authors, educators, researchers, training program directors, and doctoral students. The focus is clear and effective writing for improved publications.
Yours,
Ken Friedman
