Types and conventions of science writing


The purpose of science writing is to communicate scientific research to various audiences. Like much
writing, it includes both description and analysis: surveys of previous research and descriptions of
current methodologies and results; and analysis related to the trends, importance, and implications of
research findings. Although science writers present facts and careful reasoning based on evidence,
they must also use techniques of good communication to shape their presentation of findings in an
engaging and persuasive way. Therefore, most types of science writing follow a format that frames the
information presented with a sense of context.
