Abstract
BACKGROUND: When considering the importance of scientific writing in disseminating new discoveries and ideas, it is quite remarkable that few physicians have received any formal instruction in this essential process. METHODS: This article focuses on the fundamental principles of scientific writing that also include a "style and grace" component. RESULTS: The art of good scientific writing is to convey scientific materials in a clear and interesting way, while avoiding incomprehensible sentences that only serve to disguise marginal contents within the article. CONCLUSIONS: The goal of this article is to encourage authors and readers to critically examine the art of scientific writing to overcome the barrier to effective communication.
