This article explores the impact of Collaborative Project-Based Learning (PBL) on enhancing scientific writing skills. By engaging students in group projects centered around real-world scientific problems, PBL fosters teamwork, critical thinking, and the development of effective scientific communication. The study synthesizes existing research to highlight how collaboration improves writing quality through peer feedback, the sharing of ideas, and exposure to diverse perspectives. Furthermore, the article discusses the role of PBL in providing students with authentic writing experiences, helping them understand the structure and conventions of scientific writing. While challenges such as unequal participation and logistical issues may arise, these can be mitigated with proper planning and the use of technology to support collaboration. Overall, the article concludes that PBL offers a transformative approach to teaching scientific writing, equipping students with essential skills for academic and professional success in the scientific community.
