I keep a curated list of #ScientificWriting resources - books, blogs, tools, podcasts, you name it. Every now and again I broadcast the link to it, and today feels like "every now and then"! https://scientistseessquirrel.wordpress.com/writing-resources/

@purplepadma #ScientificWriting needs to be simple, logical and precise. I think #AI can help a lot.

What happens when #ChatGPT writes an entire scientific paper? And more importantly - what might this tell us about ChatGPT and about #ScientificWriting? https://scientistseessquirrel.wordpress.com/2023/07/11/what-happens-when-chatgpt-writes-an-entire-scientific-paper/

Please boost/forward/tape to lab fridge etc.

Are you currently working on a #scientificwriting project such as a manuscript, grant proposal, job application, or research/teaching statement? Struggle to find place/time to write? Interested in learning how to improve the clarity and effectiveness of your professional writing? If so, consider applying to the CSHL Scientific Writing Retreat!

DM me with any questions. See interview with us here:

The Fediverse tools include #Plume which seems not to be supported anymore and #writefreely which looks nice but would require some work, seems to require a server. I have a domain and hosting at Google but don't know if that can work.

Advice? Ideas? Offers of collaboration? All are welcome. 🙂

@lambo #ScientificWriting #AI

Using #AI to develop the writer, rather than the writing.

Al can be used to fix grammar mistakes or reword writing to be 'more academic' but this is unlikely to improve the writers knowledge or skills.

However using Al as a tool for brainstorming or to provide potential options of structure and organisation to writing. By using it as scaffolding while constantly reflecting on the feedback.

High impact articles from the 1970s:
· introduction jumps straight into the topic
· on average 10 references, rarely more than 20
· data presented exclusively in diagrams
· lots of active speech; comfortable use of "we" and names of other researchers

AI driven language processing tools like #ChatGPT and their usage are highly debated in #ScientificWriting. We've assembled a page with info about #ChatGPT in #academia! Check it out and let us know if we've missed an interesting article: https://www.lib4ri.ch/chatgpt-and-scientific-writing-0

Heads up, scientists. 👇👇👇

"AI developers are expected to create even more powerful versions, including ones trained specifically on scientific literature—a prospect that has sent a shock wave through the scholarly publishing industry."

Sex and gender differences are often overlooked in research design, implementation, and scientific reporting.

The EASE SAGER Guidelines Checklist helps address this with a comprehensive series of items to incorporate into methods and editorial processes.

I give a lecture in my #ScientificWriting course that really rankles some of my colleagues. Here are the two apparent heterodoxies, and why I won't back down (thanks for that, Tom Petty). https://scientistseessquirrel.wordpress.com/2023/01/31/my-most-heterodox-scientific-writing-lecture-or-how-i-annoy-my-colleagues-in-a-good-cause/

The other day in my Scientific Writing class, I asked students how many had been taught NOT to use I/we or the active voice in #ScientificWriting.

Almost every hand went up.

This makes me sad. Writing is hard enough without our teaching like it's still the 1960s!

Today in my #ScientificWriting class, one of my favourite workshops. Students take a classic paper that isn't in IMRaD format, cut it up, and reassemble - and discuss whether it's an improvement. Here: Roger Paine (1966), on complexity in food webs.
