书籍介绍

Publishing your research in an international journal is key to your success in academia. This guide 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 usage. It draws on English-related errors from around 5000 papers written by non-native authors, 500 abstracts by PhD students, and over 1000 hours of teaching researchers how to write and present research papers. With easy-to-follow rules and tips, and with examples taken from published and unpublished papers, you will learn how to: prepare and structure a manuscript increase readability and reduce the number of mistakes you make in English by writing concisely, with no redundancy and no ambiguityplan and organize your paper, and structure each paragraph and each sentence so that the reader can easily follow the logical build-up towards various conclusionswrite a title and an abstract that will attract attention and be readdecide what to include in the various parts of the paper (Introduction, Methodology, Discussion etc) select from over 700 useful phrases highlight your claims and contributionavoid plagiarism and make it 100% clear whether you are referring to your own work or someone else’schoose the correct tenses and style (active or passive) Other books in the series: English for Presentations at International Conferences English for Academic Correspondence and Socializing English for Research: Usage, Style, and Grammar English for Academic Research: Grammar / Vocabulary / Writing Exercises Adrian Wallwork is the author of more than 20 ELT and EAP textbooks.

精彩摘录
  • "If you have a separate Results section then the standard procedure is to present them with little or no interpretation or discussion. This means that the Results is generally the shortest section in a paper."
  • "From an English point of view the key skill is in reporting your results simply and clearly."
  • "The Results should answer the following questions. 1. What did I find? 2. What did I not find? 3. What did I find that I was not expecting to find?"
  • "Your results are things that you found before you started writing the paper. They therefore relate to past events, consequently the PAST SIMPLE is used to report them, often in a mixture of the active and passive forms. When the topic is the most important element she uses the passive. When it makes"
作者简介
Adrian Wallwork is the author of around 30 English Language Teaching textbooks published by: Springer Science, Oxford University Press, BBC, Cambridge University Press, Scholastic, De Agostini, and Vallardi. He lives and works in Pisa, Italy where he enjoys the sun, the wine, and teaching PhD students from all over the world. His dream book, which he hopes to have published in the near future, is a book to teach native English speakers to communicate more effectively with their non-native colleagues, clients, audience etc. Given the fact that there are only five hundred million native speakers, and at least 2.5 billion non-native speakers, it hardly seems fair that the minority make it so hard for the majority!!

这tm不应该成为所有国内本科大学的教材在诸如“学科方法论”“毕业论文写作”之类的课上好好给学生讲一讲吗,为什么我这么晚才看到它?!点名批评某电。
非常非常非常好的书!甚至对native speaker都解释的很好,学术写作和表达甚至写作都有不同。浅显指出了很多学术写作上经常犯的错误。
问答形式,可读性很强。让人意识到自己的写作问题,非常棒,有系列书籍还有配套练习。系列书籍中还教人如何socialize和在International Conferences做Presentation。太贴心了!再次重读,仍然收获大。应该变成案头书。
去年读过的书,最近写综述把笔记找出来认真复习了一遍。觉得Part 1写的特别好,对于新手学术写作来说可以多方面有效避坑,写作就是心中有读者,表意清楚,简洁明晰为第一要务。

比那什么the elements of style不知道好多少倍
这本很实用了
研究论文写作教材。简洁清晰,符合论文的所有标准(* ̄︶ ̄)有些冷幽默也很好笑。对于初学者,比较好的方式是先通读一遍然后当做handbook使用。感觉自己悟了!
