Lets say I'm writing about pollution or global warming.
My points are like the causes or effects.
2/3 of my information will not use any scientific terms.
Would that be alright if 2/3 of my contents explains the causes or effects without using a lot of the terms like gases and toxic chemicals?
It is kind of hard to write any scientific research paper when you can write so much. It isn't like explaining the process of fertilization where you can use a wide range of scientific terms. It is more like talking about shoes and the only thing scientific in the paper is the materials.
Does a scientific research paper have to be scientific?
If we were talking about an essay paper, the answer would be that you don't have to write using scientific terminology IF you can explain, with total clarity, exactly what you are talking about. If you think you can do that, then it's perfectly acceptable to use everyday English.
But you are talking about a scientific research paper, then yes, it has to use scientific research language.
Think about it this way: a research paper is a study about a very particular topic. You are going to cite all sorts of information and you have to be able to back it up. And the people who read scientific research papers are other scientists. They are used to reading the scientific terms and a paper with no scientific terminology is going to rank about as high as a comic book in that community.
