Book Synopsis
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 1500 hours of teaching researchers how to write and present research papers.The exercises are organized into thirteen chapters on: adjectives and adverbs (e.g.actualvscurrent,differentvsseveral,continuallyvscontinuously), link words (e.g.on the contraryvson the other hand,despitevsnevertheless), nouns (e.g.dangervshazard,measurevsmeasurement), prepositions (e.g.amongvsbetween,invsinto,withvswithin), verbs (e.g.checkvscontrol,composevscomprise,arisevsraise,excludevsruleout), false friends and synonyms, spelling, useful phrases, inclusive vocabulary, emails, using Large Language Models for correcting, paraphrasi
