English for Writing Research Papers

2011, Springer

English for Writing Research Papers By Adrian Wallwork Publishing your research in an international journal is key to your success in academia. This guide is based on a study of referees' reports and letters from journal editors on reasons why papers written by non-native researchers are rejected due to problems with English usage. It draws on English-related errors from around 5000 papers written by non-native authors, 500 abstracts by PhD students, and over 1000 hours of teaching researchers how to write and present research papers. With easy-to-follow rules and tips, and with examples taken from published and unpublished papers, you will learn how to: prepare and structure a manuscript q increase readability and reduce the number of mistakes you make in English by q writing concisely, with no redundancy and no ambiguity plan and organize your paper, and structure each paragraph and each sentence q so that the reader can easily follow the logical build-up towards various conclusions write a title and an abstract that will attract attention and be read q decide what to include in the various parts of the paper (Introduction, q Methodology, Discussion etc) select from over 700 useful phrases q highlight your claims and contribution q avoid plagiarism and make it 100% clear whether you are referring to your own q work or someone else's choose the correct tenses and style (active or passive) q The book also includes around 700 useful phrases for use in any kind for research paper.

A primary task of a researcher is the communication of technical results to the broader scientific community. Whether in written or oral form, scientific communication is a critical step in the scientific method and is the key driver of movement within a scientific field. Therefore, the construction of a written scientific manuscript must not be taken lightly. As part of our service to the broader scientific community, we thought it may be beneficial to identify some of the common aspects of a well constructed scientific manuscript. These points are briefly discussed below. It should be noted that manuscripts that are successfully submitted to a journal for publication have three main components: (1) the overall idea, (2) the execution of the work, and (3) the presentation of the work. While each of these is critical, the guidelines presented below primarily speak to the third component, namely the presentation of the scientific work. Thus a poor idea or a poorly designed investigation can not be saved by an excellent presentation of the work, and equally an excellent idea that is well investigated can still be doomed by a poor presentation. Hopefully the concepts described below will help to minimize the latter situation.
