How To Write A Scientific Paper


I lecture at Chiang Mai University, in the various departments of the medical college, on the topic of How To Write A Scientific Paper. This is the set of handouts I give my listeners, so I've uploaded them here for their benefit. I have no idea if they'll help you or not.
  1. Watson and Crick show how it's done
  2. Ways To Improve Your English
  3. Writers Show How It's Not Done

I used these while teaching Advanced English Writing in several Chinese universities for almost five years. They address the most common mistakes Asian students make when writing in English. If you read them carefully and work through the exercises, you might learn something. Or not.
