Planning, proposing, and presenting science effectively Book

This concise guide to planning, writing, and presenting research in biology and behavioral ecology is intended for students at all levels. The guidelines apply equally to independent projects for undergraduate theses, as well as to doctoral dissertations, and research aimed at publication. The book discusses planning research, writing a research proposal (such as a formal proposal for a thesis, or for a funding agency), writing a research report (such as a graduate thesis, or a manuscript for publication in a research journal), and presenting research at research seminars and scientific meetings. The final chapter covers writing an effective CV. An appendix gives some tips on how to write clearly.
