Writing for Computer Science

All researchers need to write or speak about their work, and to have research  that is worth presenting. Based on the author's decades of experience as a researcher and advisor, this third edition provides detailed guidance on writing and presentations and a comprehensive introduction to research methods, the how-to of being a successful scientist. 

Topics include:

·         Development of ideas into research questions;

·         How to find, read, evaluate and referee other research;

·         Design and evaluation of experiments and appropriate use of statistics;

·         Ethics, the principles of science and examples of science gone wrong.

Much of the book is a step-by-step guide to effective communication, with advice on:

 ·         Writing style and editing;

·         Figures, graphs and tables;

·         Mathematics and algorithms;

·         Literature reviews and referees’ reports;

·         Structuring of arguments and results into papers and theses;

·         Writing of other professional documents;

·         Presentation of talks and posters.

Written in an accessible style and including handy checklists and exercises, Writing for Computer Science is not only an introduction to the doing and describing of research, but is a valuable reference for working scientists in the computing and mathematical sciences.

所有研究人員都需要撰寫或演講關於他們的工作，並且需要有值得呈現的研究成果。根據作者數十年的研究和顧問經驗，這本第三版提供了關於寫作和演講的詳細指導，以及對研究方法的全面介紹，即如何成為一名成功的科學家。

主題包括：
- 將想法發展成研究問題；
- 如何尋找、閱讀、評估和審查其他研究；
- 實驗的設計和評估以及統計方法的適當使用；
- 倫理、科學原則以及科學失誤的例子。

本書大部分是一本逐步指南，提供有效溝通的建議，包括：
- 寫作風格和編輯；
- 圖表和表格；
- 數學和演算法；
- 文獻回顧和審稿人報告；
- 將論點和結果結構化成論文和論文；
- 撰寫其他專業文件；
- 演講和海報的呈現。

這本書以易於理解的風格撰寫，並包含方便的檢查清單和練習題，不僅是研究和描述研究的入門指南，也是計算機科學和數學科學領域的工作科學家的寶貴參考資料。
