Summary

Science constantly changes, with new findings, formulations, and concepts, but the writing and language used to communicate scientific information-requires a consensus of form and meaning shared by the community involved in the discussion. This tension makes setting the standards of science writing challenging. The Manual of Scientific Style addresses this tension by providing a snapshot of the standards of scientific discourse at this moment in history.

Author Biography

Harold Rabinowitz is Editorial Director of The Reference Works and former Executive Editor of the McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science Technology. Suzanne Vogel is former manager of the Space and Nuclear Policy Programs of the Eisenhower Institute and holds science and graduate degrees from Columbia University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
