Written reports accompany college and graduate students throughout their course of study. The most challenging ones are term papers, master's theses and - as is often the case with a science degree - a doctoral dissertation. With the right preparation and a little knowledge of rules and conventions, everyone can improve their grading by preparing reports that are flawless in terms of format and style.
This is an easy to read guide to scientific thesis writing that explains rules and conventions, and helps to avoid common pitfalls and abounds with practical advice for a better and more efficient composition of term papers, theses and reports. It appeals to a broad target group.
Best-selling author team: The author team is the same as for the best-selling title "The Art of Scientific Writing" (more than 10,000 copies sold)
Proven concept: The guide is based on a highly successful German language book that is currently in its third edition and has received high praise from both students and teachers
Great for beginners: No prior knowledge on writing techniques is assumed, i.e. both native and non-native speakers will profit from this guide
Didactic Approach: Examples and study questions (with solutions in the appendix) make it easy to develop one's writing skills. This guide can be used as a course book but can equally well be used for studying on one's own.
Stresses science-specific issues such as symbols and equations, charts and tables, and scientific illustrations
