The paper presents basic information about the styles of written scientific speech. The basic requirements for the completeness and unambiguity of written speech are revealed, which turn out to be much stricter than oral speech. Varieties of scientific style are highlighted - academic style, popular scientific style, scientific and educational, scientific and business. The work is based on examples, the most frequent and typical speech errors and inaccuracies. These were collected by the authors during many years of work in the editorial boards of medical journals and cooperation with publishing houses. The emphasis is given on the typical shortcomings found in written scientific speech, stylistic errors and inaccuracies in wording. The article is intended to help authors with understand the features of the scientific style of speech and, ultimately, improve the quality and value of their own publications.
