Science prose

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scientific prose is a genre of literature .

“Wissenschaftsprosa” is considered an insufficient translation of the English term science writing .

While the professional prose aims to convey technical skills (for example that of a surgeon), scientific prose aims to convey and secure traditional theoretical knowledge. Technical prose is aimed - according to Jürgen Schiewe - at laypeople , scientific prose at scholars .

According to Valentin Groebner, Wissenschaftsprosa intends to be legible .
