Abstract :
[en] Writing a scientific or technical document, like a Master's thesis in computer science, requires specific skills. In this document, we describe the basic elements of scientific writing: bibliography, structure, contents, style and presentation. Our goal is to offer readers a method and guidelines to improve their writing. These guidelines come with counterexamples to help detect typical mistakes and give examples to fix them. We also cover plagiarism, a serious problem given the present accumulation of easily accessible digital resources. The various steps of scientific writing are covered: organizing thoughts, writing and final reviewing/proofreading. A written report is often followed by an oral defense: therefore, we also offer some advice for such public presentations.
