This book 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 (long sentences, redundancy, poor structure etc). It draws on English-related errors from around 5000 papers written by non-native authors, around 3000 emails, 500 abstracts by PhD students, and over 1000 hours of teaching researchers how to write and present research papers.
The exercises are organized into nine chapters on: adjectives and adverbs (e.g.
actual
vs
current, different
vs
several, continually
vs
continuously
), link words (e.g.
on the contrary
vs
on the other hand, despite
vs
nevertheless
), nouns (e.g.
danger
vs
hazard, measure
vs
measurement
), prepositions (e.g.
among
vs
between, in
vs
into, with
vs
within
), verbs (e.g.
check
vs
control, compose
vs
comprise, arise
vs
raise, exclude
vs
rule out
), false friends and synonyms, spelling, useful phrases, emails
Nearly all exercises require no actual writing but simply choosing between various options, thus facilitating self-study, e-reading and rapid progress. The exercises can also be integrated into English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and English for Special Purposes (ESP) courses at universities and research institutes.The book can be used in conjunction with the other exercise books in the series: English for Academic Research: Writing ExercisesEnglish for Academic Research: Grammar Exercises
