Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Scientific writing should not be ____
A
concise
B
precise
C
focused
D
biased
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Writers should write objectively and inclusively to receive respect and trust from readers, as well as to avoid alienating readers. To be objective means to write with curiosity, rather than having a preset opinion, and to engage with research, rather than presenting a personal preference.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bias in research can cause distorted results and wrong conclusions. Such studies can lead to unnecessary costs, wrong clinical practice and they can eventually cause some kind of harm to the patient.

Detailed explanation-3: -In academic writing, it is important to avoid using language that can be seen as biased. Bias happens when writers choose language that is either not specific or not sensitive to labels. Section 5 of the APA Manual covers the many ways that bias can appear in writing and how to avoid those.

Detailed explanation-4: -To conduct a scientific investigation without bias, you would need to select a random sampling of people and set up preliminary guidelines. Questions need to be conducted and answers collected in the same manner for all people interviewed.

Detailed explanation-5: -To minimize or avoid performance bias, investigators can consider cluster stratification of patients, in which all patients having an operation by one surgeon or at one hospital are placed into the same study group, as opposed to placing individual patients into groups.
