Mastering Scientific Communication and Technical Writing for Science Publications

Mastering Scientific Communication and Technical Writing for Science Publications is not a traditional foreign, EAP, ESP, or remedial English textbook.

Nor does it offer generic academic skills training. Instead, it is a practical skills-based guide that prepares novice and emerging scientists to participate confidently in the real communicative practices of their disciplines.

The book takes learners beyond vocabulary lists and grammar exercises into the authentic world of scientific genres and conventions. Through hands-on activities and real examples, students learn how to:

notice and apply the conventions that give scientific texts authority,
design and present effective posters for international conferences,
structure and write research papers, reviews, and proposals,
describe methods and results with clarity and precision, and
integrate visuals, figures, and multimodal elements into communication.
Grounded in genre pedagogy, multiliteracies, and technical writing traditions, this book equips students in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Biochemistry, and Materials Science with the tools to move from coursework to publication-ready communication.

It is designed for senior undergraduates, postgraduates, and early-career researchers who want not just to “write in English,” but to enter scientific discourse communities with competence and confidence.
