In this paper, we interpret some writing orientations of the Practical guide for scientific writing, which is, according to Volpato (2015), a manual that supports researchers in composition of academic papers fitting an international pattern. The goals of this text are to analyze: 1) rhetorical strategies mentioned by the Practical Guide that involve the production of knowledge on scientific writing and (2) positions on scientific writing (and, implied in this, on science in general) present in such guidelines. As a theoretical-methodological framework, we dialogue with studies that conceive language as social action and, in this sense, they emphasize the rhetorical and performative dimension of human action, mainly the academic writing action. As a result, we offer subsidies for a better comprehension about dominant points of view concerning scientific writing and the needed respect to the diversity of disciplinary cultures (HYLAND, 2011).
