I have started writing a series of short articles on the topic of technical writing (which sometimes also includes research methodology in general, although I try to avoid it!). There are many good books out there that you can explore (I will make a list of these book some day when I have time) but I have rarely seen any student reading anyone of them. My articles here are intended to be short and topic-based, and are based on my own experience when supervising or grading student projects. My goal is to write down my observations and my proposals for improvements in a simple way so that these tips can be of practical value to my students. Please comment and ask questions if you need!
Current posts on the topic of technical writing:
