Research and Teaching: Undergraduate Science Students' Attitudes toward and Approaches to Scientific Reading and Writing
Verkade, Heather; Lim, Saw Hoon
Journal of College Science Teaching, v45 n4 Mar 2016

Their writing was also examined to see if they use deep or surface approaches to scientific writing.
