Description
Writing for Social Scientists offers reassurance to writers in all fields. Academic writing can be stressful, even for experienced scholars like Howard S. Becker. To overcome this challenge, Becker provides a clear solution: start writing, revise, and repeat. This approach applies his sociologist's eye to common problems faced by academic writers, including getting it right the first time, struggling with citations, and writing to impress rather than communicate. Becker shares concrete advice based on his own experiences and those of his students and colleagues for overcoming these obstacles and gaining confidence as a writer. The book has been updated to reflect changes in technology and institutional pressures, making it relevant for a new generation of scholars and students. With this edition, readers can write about their chosen topic clearly and persuasively. With its practical advice and approachable tone, Writing for Social Scientists is an ideal resource for those looking to improve their writing skills.
