{"product_id":"stylish-academic-writing-9780674064485","title":"Stylish Academic Writing","description":"\u003cp\u003eElegant data and ideas deserve elegant expression  argues Helen Sword in this lively guide to academic writing. For scholars frustrated with disciplinary conventions  and for specialists who want to write for a larger audience but are unsure where to begin  here are imaginative  practical  witty pointers that show how to make articles and books a pleasure to readand to write.  Dispelling the myth that you cannot get published without writing wordy  impersonal prose  Sword shows how much journal editors and readers welcome work that avoids excessive jargon and abstraction. Swords analysis of more than a thousand peer-reviewed articles across a wide range of fields documents a startling gap between how academics typically describe good writing and the turgid prose they regularly produce.  Stylish Academic Writing showcases a range of scholars from the sciences  humanities  and social sciences who write with vividness and panache. Individual chapters take up specific elements of style  such as titles and headings  chapter openings  and structure  and close with examples of transferable techniques that any writer can master.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45960414494773,"sku":"ByrdShop_0674064488","price":44.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780674064485.jpg?v=1788286699","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/stylish-academic-writing-9780674064485","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
