Manage works scientifically - can I say like that?

Question

Hi all, I want to represent the ideal that I can manage works in a scientific way. So, can I say "manage works scientifically"? I ask so because it seems strange to me.Thanks in advance.

By "works," I presume you mean projects or something like that? I'm inferring that you are writing this in a resume listing your skills for a job. Unless the job is in a scientific field, where it would be appropriate to say that you would perform your duties using the scientific method, I would probably say, "I can manage projects in an organized (or methodical) way." or "I approach managing projects with an organized process."

There is nothing grammatically wrong with either, "I can manage works in a scientific way." or "I manage works scientifically." It is just a little unclear without the context what you mean by that and if it would be appropriate clear language in the context in which you intend to use it.

Thank you very much.

Yes, I write this in a cv for scholarship. My major is information technology. When using "scientific way", I didn't mean I use mathematics, physics or computer... for my works. So, between organized and scientific, which one is better?

Since scientific has a very specific meaning that doesn't apply here, I would use organized.  In casual speech you might say you approach your work scientifically, meaning in a methodical way, but I would not write that in a CV.
