What is Scientific writing?
Scientific writing is writing about science
The cornerstone of the philosophy of science is based on the fundamental assumption that original research must be published
-An unwritten law in science
![Page 8: Copyright: Dr. O.P. Sobukola BY SOBUKOLA, O.P. (PhD) Department of Food Science & Technology, University of Agriculture, PMB 2240, Abeokuta, Nigeria. sobukolaop@unaab.edu.ng](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e4b5503460f94b3f137/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

What is a research report?It describes the completed study to other researchers,
professionals, students or global audience;
It communicates information to the selected audience as clearly and accurately as possible about the research project;
Research reports highlights the essence of the study and brings the study to an end;
![Page 9: Copyright: Dr. O.P. Sobukola BY SOBUKOLA, O.P. (PhD) Department of Food Science & Technology, University of Agriculture, PMB 2240, Abeokuta, Nigeria. sobukolaop@unaab.edu.ng](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e4b5503460f94b3f137/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Copyright: Dr. O.P. Sobukola
Hence, scientist must not only do science but must be able to write science;
It is the art of presenting scientific results to fellow researchers or end users;
It is a written scientific document that the researcher produces as a result of a research study or investigation;

Oral presentation
less formal than writinglanguage is conversationalaudience may interact with presenter; ask
questionsslides – provide structure, emphasize
visuals presenter controls pace (not reader) fixed time limit
strive for simplicity – less detail, less information
![Page 37: Copyright: Dr. O.P. Sobukola BY SOBUKOLA, O.P. (PhD) Department of Food Science & Technology, University of Agriculture, PMB 2240, Abeokuta, Nigeria. sobukolaop@unaab.edu.ng](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e4b5503460f94b3f137/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Principles of Oral presentation
planning – purpose, audience, scope
preparation – assemble material, decide how to present
structure – logical development
visuals – graphs, images, photos
Practical tip: backup your presentation well: DVD, USB
![Page 38: Copyright: Dr. O.P. Sobukola BY SOBUKOLA, O.P. (PhD) Department of Food Science & Technology, University of Agriculture, PMB 2240, Abeokuta, Nigeria. sobukolaop@unaab.edu.ng](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e4b5503460f94b3f137/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Structure of Oral presentation
Structure provides the basis for logical development
Introduction state purpose provide background
Body develop the topic
Closing state conclusion with conviction suggest what to do next; provide motivation

Power Point slides
Use slide-making software, e.g., Power Point, SliTeX, …
Slides should provide structure for your talk
Keep slides simple, uncluttered
short, punchy lines use phrases, not sentences spelling and English usage should be
correct avoid numerous equations
