All their observations and conclusions have to be based on hard facts. They are trained to be objective. 2. Clarity Owing to the nature of their work, what scientists are most concerned about is how to express themselves clearly. In dealing with technical matters, clarity greatly facilitates effective communication between these professionals. 3. Accuracy Like clarity, scientific writing and speaking also attaches great importance to accuracy. The success of scientific researches depends on the accuracy of facts, experimental results, and statistics, and this requirement makes it necessary to use accurate language to express the meanings exactly and clearly in scientific studies. 4.
