The scientific research article is a careful balance of factual information and social interaction in which academic writers need to make the results of their research public and persuasive. Although scientific communication through journal articles has a history spanning over 350 years, there remains significant potential for improvement. I hypothesize that compositional strategies employed by artists-particularly landscape artists-can enhance academic scientific writing by promoting interaction and improving persuasive communication. This article explores how principles fundamental to landscape art, such as notan, focal point, element hierarchy, the 80/20 rule, simplification, and repetition, can enhance scientific writing. Awareness and adoption of these artistic techniques can make the scientific writing process more engaging and enjoyable for lovers of science and art alike.
科研文章是事实性信息与社会互动的精心平衡,学术作者需要在其中将研究结果公之于众并具有说服力。尽管通过期刊文章进行科学交流已有350多年的历史,但仍有很大的改进潜力。我推测艺术家(尤其是风景画家)所采用的构图策略可以通过促进互动和改善有说服力的交流来提高学术科学写作水平。本文探讨了风景艺术的基本原理,如明暗对比、焦点、元素层次、二八法则、简化和重复,如何能够提升科学写作。对于科学和艺术爱好者而言,了解并采用这些艺术技巧可以使科学写作过程更具吸引力且令人愉悦。
