The Exchange: Volume 16 Number 3

Geoff Hart has completed the September 2009 issue of the Exchange. This issue runs from articles all the way - clearly a reflection of recent trends in publishing - to zombies. The editorial this month is a great introduction to some of the issues surrounding the evaluation of evidence and significance in scientific research.

As usual, the newsletter is available in both HTML and PDF formats.

In this issue:

• Linguistic lightning: the power of the right word
• Editorial: Just how significant is it?
• Book review: Pocket Book of Technical Writing for Engineers and Scientists
• Book review: The ACS Style Guide: Effective Communication of Scientific Information
• Fun on the Web
• Parting thoughts
