The word respectively (meaning separately, in the order specified ) often appears in science writing and can be used to make your writing more concise. Generally, respectively appears at the end of the sentence on rare occasions, however, it appears within the sentence. Note, too, that when two or more items have the same unit, the unit is stated only once. 

In the preferred sentences, the emphasis is placed on the science (ozonolysis), rather than the scientists (Jung et ah), and on conciseness. On occasion, names are used in formal science writing (last names only), but this practice should be kept to a minimum.

The history of science remained under the auspices of scientists until the establishment of the field as a distinct professional activity in middle of the twentieth century. As academic historians assumed control of history of science writing, they expended enormous energies in the attempt to forge a distinct and autonomous discipline. The result of this struggle to position the history of science as an intellectual endeavor that was valuable in its own...

Betweeu 1890 and 1893, Werner produced the three most important theoretical papers of his career. His doctoral dissertation (1890, cowritten with his teacher Arthur Hantzsch), a true classic of science writing on the topic of stereochemistry, extended Joseph Achille Le Bel and Jacobus Hen-ricus van t Hoffs concept of the tetrahedral carbon compound (1874) to the nitrogen compound. It explained many puzzling paradoxes of geometrically isomeric, trivalent nitrogen compounds and placed nitrogen compound stereochemistry on a firm theoretical basis. 

If you find that you have a lot in common with other science writers or Journalists and enjoy the kind of work that they do, then go forward with the transition by going to a science writing meeting and then a scientific meeting. Ask to shadow some of the writers or journalists and try writing up the sessions and workshops that you attend together. Ask for feedback."...

Overall, the future of science writing and journalism provides many dynamic opportunities for bioengineers or biotechnologists with creative drive, strong writing skills, a commitment to learning, and a dedication to science.

Communication is necessary for the development of knowledge. Another theoretical approach is the sociocultural one. A representative of this approach who is interested in science teaching is Lemke (1990). He makes a fair number of recommendations for teaching, stressing small group discussion and science writing.
