Writing Advice

Here is a collection of good advice for technical writers. Some articles are on the local server. I've copied them to the local server if the author allows it. Others are links to other sites.

• How to write an abstract - Kenneth K. Landes
• How to write an introduction - Jon Claerbout
• Tips for scientific writers from NOAA
• Technical Writing and Research Ethics - Link to many useful resources
• American Physical Society Style Guide - Good Basic Advice
• Accepted values of fundamental constants. This link to NIST provides the accepted values of fundamental constants. This is the only acceptable reference for such constants. Do not use the values from Halliday and Resnick or other similar texts.
  
• Understanding jargon in technical writing
• Information for Contributors - American Journal of Physics
