Research Methodology and Scientific Writing, 2nd Edition.

George C. Thomas

Twice and thrice over, as they say, good it is to repeat and review what is good. Research workers engaged in scientific pursuits bring out new ideas and information continually on various aspects of science. However, such research results, if not made available to the widest possible audience within a reasonable time, are worthless. New research is often based on the work of others. One may start where another scientist stopped. Research workers, therefore, after the completion of research projects, must compile the results and publish them in scientific journals with possible interpretations and clear conclusions. Only then can one say that the research project is completed. Apart from research papers, there are some other established means of research reporting. These include theses, dissertations, conference proceedings, electronic publications, progress reports, and completion reports. For obtaining a Ph.D., M.Phil., or master's degree in professional subjects such as agriculture, medicine, and engineering, one has to submit a thesis or dissertation—another form of research report.
As a scientist or science student, you are expected to write essays, articles, and reports effectively. The objective of scientific writing is to accurately and clearly communicate with students, scientists, funding agencies, and lay people.
