«The world's best guide to academic craftmanship: if you're a good academic, here's how to prove it to those who need to know.» Stein Tønnesson, Director, International Peace Research Institute, Oslo (PRIO), about the first edition Academics are not just researchers, but writers too. Using her many years of practical experience gained as a teacher and editor, Lynn Nygaard guides you through the whole process of writing and presenting your research in order to help you make your voice heard within the academic community.

This updated new edition includes: - More examples from across the social sciences - A new chapter on presenting statistical data - Examples from around the world - More material on e-publishing, open access and referencing software - An annotated biography - A comprehensive glossary From defining your audience, to forming your argument and structuring your work, this book enables you to communicate your research passionately and professionally. «Nygaard gets at the heart of the challenge of academic writing, providing solutions for scholars of all levels working to hone their craft and effectively and efficiently communicate their research. She accomplishes all this while being a competent and oftentimes humorous chaperone on the endeavor.» Cyanne E.
