Science writing can take two forms: writing about science or writing within the context of science. Writing about science includes popular science writing by journalists or public information officers, which aims to inform the general public. Writing within the context of science includes scientific writing that reports factual information for other scientists. While science writing, business writing, journalistic writing, and creative writing differ in their audience, purpose, style, language and structure, understanding these genres can help readers move from discomfort to comfort in comprehending various texts.
