%0 Journal Article %T The Logic of Scientific Writing %A VOLPATO %A G. L. %J Salesian Journal on Information Systems %D 2011 %I Faculdade Salesiana Maria Auxiliadora %X In this work, I describe a logical method for scientific writing. Any decision made in this type of writing should be based on the logic of science and the rules of communication, as part of a creative discourse. I present some logical flaws (regarding journal classification, academic vs. non-academic texts, and subjective inferences) and writing mistakes (in the structure of a paper and the writing style) that can undermine publication.Key Words:scientific writing, scientific communication, scientific publication, science, logic %K scientific writing %K scientific communication %K scientific publication %K science %K logic %U http://www.fsma.edu.br/si/edicao7/FSMA_SI_2011_1_Principal_1.pdf
