This book contains one hundred typical mistakes relating to papers,
proposals, oral presentations, and correspondence with editors (e.g.
journal submissions), reviewers (rebuttal letters), and editing
agencies.
The book is primarily intended for non-native English speaking
researchers. However, it is also useful for editing agencies in order to
help new or inexperienced editors spot the kinds of mistakes they need
to correct in order to ensure their clients successfully have their
papers published. Each section of a paper is covered separately: titles
and abstracts; introduction and literature review; methods, results and
tables; discussion and conclusions.
Teachers of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) will learn which areas
of writing and grammar to focus on including readability, word order,
sentence length, paragraphing, ambiguity and punctuation. The last
section in the book highlights the key areas where presenters make the
most mistakes in terms of the use of English.
