Scientific Writing —What's in a Word
Most authors and readers know they need to be careful not to overstate findings, to distinguish between causation and association, and to accurately represent the data. While some authors that submit to JNEB received classroom training on how to structure a scientific paper, others may not have had that opportunity.
