In September 2004, ForestAction and ERI organized the two-day Scientific Writing Workshop, intending to impart knowledge to the participating researchers and research practitioners on how one can apply the scientific method to the writing practice to make it more systematic and logical. The main objective of the workshop was to make participants familiar with scientific writing and encourage them to reflect upon it in their writing, so as to elude common error from the products and to conceptualise the writing process as a science. A total of 10 researchers and research practitioners from different NGOs participated in the workshop.
