Description
Write Like a Chemist: A Guide and Resource is a comprehensive textbook and resource for chemistry students, professionals, and faculty. It focuses on four key types of chemistry writing: journal articles, conference abstracts, scientific posters, and research proposals.
The book provides numerous authentic models of scientific writing, including excerpts from American Chemical Society (ACS) journals, conferences, and successful NSF proposals. A model poster is also included to help readers develop their skills. The read-analyze-write approach emphasizes the importance of reading real texts, analyzing them, and using them as models for disciplinary writing.
Exercises are included in each chapter to turn complex writing tasks into manageable steps. Additional features include formatting guidance for figures, tables, citations, and references, as well as language tips for common challenges. Companion websites offer additional resources for students and faculty, including self-study exercises, proofreading tips, and teaching materials.
