This book is designed to enable non-native English speakers to write
science research for publication in English. It can also be used by
English speakers and is a practical, user-friendly book intended as a
fast, do-it-yourself guide for those whose English language proficiency
is above intermediate. The approach is based on material developed from
teaching graduate students at Imperial College London and has been
extensively piloted. The book guides the reader through the process of
writing science research and will also help with writing a Master's or
Doctoral thesis in English.Science writing is much easier than it looks
because the structure and language are conventional. The aim of this
book is to help the reader discover a template or model for science
research writing and then to provide the grammar and vocabulary tools
needed to operate that model. There are five units: Introduction,
Methodology, Results, Discussion/Conclusion and Abstract. The reader
develops a model for each section of the research article through sample
texts and exercises; this is followed by a Grammar and Writing Skills
section designed to respond to frequently-asked questions as well as a
Vocabulary list including examples of how the words and phrases are to
be used.
