Scientific Writing

LaTeX Conventions

• Use \SI{value}{unit} from siunitx (e.g., \SI{200}{\celsius})
• Use \cite{key} with verified DOIs only
• Equations in equation or align environments, always labeled
• Use \paragraph{} for sub-organization within sections
• \subsection{} only inside section files included after \section{} in main.tex (not in files managed directly by main.tex) — per la skill latex-conventions

Writing Style

• Third person, past tense for methods ("was implemented", "was validated")
• Present tense for general truths ("FDM parts exhibit anisotropic properties")
• Active voice preferred ("we propose" over "it is proposed")
• Quantitative claims backed by data ("error < 1%" not "low error")
