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.

This guide draws on English-related errors from around 6000 papers written by non-native authors, 500 abstracts written by PhD students, and over 2000 hours of teaching researchers how to write and present research papers. This new edition has chapters on exploiting AI tools such as ChatGPT, Google Translate, and Reverso, for generating, paraphrasing, translating and correcting texts written in English. It also deals with contemporary issues such as the use of gender pronouns. Due to its focus on the specific errors that repeatedly appear in papers written by non-native authors, this manual is an ideal study guide for use in universities and research institutes. Such errors are related to the usage of articles, countable vs. uncountable nouns, tenses, modal verbs, active vs. passive form, relative clauses, infinitive vs. -ing form, the genitive, link words, quantifiers, word order, prepositions, acronyms, abbreviations, numbers and measurements, punctuation, and spelling.

Successful completion of postgraduate studies, especially PhD, and career advancement in academia strongly depend on the ability to publish scientific papers or books and attract research grants. However, many chemical scientists find preparing scientific papers and research grant and book proposals difficult; partly because of insufficient training in writing and partly because there are few practical books to enable them to learn the art. This step-by-step practical guide is intended mainly for postgraduate students and early career researchers in chemical science and the libraries that serve them but will also be useful to other scientists. Key Features: Improves the reader’s chances of getting their manuscript published in chemistry journals. Increases the likelihood of winning research grants in chemistry. Takes a “lead by the hand” approach. Contains chapters on the preparation of graphical abstracts and research highlights. Uses sketches and other illustration styles to aid mental visualization of concepts. Contains practical examples taken from published papers and successful research grant proposals.

Academic writing is a fresh, structured approach to an important aspect of higher education scholarly work. It extends the existing body of knowledge in the field by synthesising fundamental strands that have existed in a fragmented, loosely structured state. Beginning by examining the meaning, nature and importance of academic writing, this book also explains the role and types of evidence in the context of scholarly writing. To this end, criteria for assessing the credibility of sources in the present Information Age are discussed. Additionally, this text explores critical thinking, analysis and argumentation. There is also guidance on rigour and academic content creation. Complementing this, the book offers essential insights into structure and cohesion, particularly cohesive devices under the broad areas of grammatical and lexical cohesion. As a book designed for learning and teaching, whether self-directed or classroom-based, the book’s other unique features are predesigned modules, with ready-to-use schemes, assignments, assessment criteria and exercises. Another aspect readers of this book will find valuable are academic phrases for different aspects of academic writing. These distinguishing features will appeal to higher education students and teachers interested in academic writing, English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and Academic English.
