Kapittel 8. Å skrive for livet: populærvitenskap, forskermemoarer ogIMRAD
I have written popular science and scientific articles since the late 1990s. Here I discuss my own experiences related to academic writing, and start from the gradually increasing specialization of academic articles. The challenge is that all researchers want to be read, but that it is difficult to reach out to a wide audience – and be frequently quoted. Something that characterizes popular science is the widespread use of literary means to reach out to a broad readership. Perhaps popular science writing can open doors and make even the scientific work more accessible?
