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 grammar.
It draws on English-related errors from around 5000 papers written by non-native authors, several hundred emails, 500 abstracts by PhD students, and over 1000 hours of teaching researchers how to write and present research papers.
The exercises include the following areas:
- active vs passive, use of we
- articles (a/an, the, zero) and quantifiers (some, any, few etc)
- conditionals and modals
- countable and uncountable nouns
- genitive
- infinitive vs -ing form
- numbers, acronyms, abbreviations
- relative clauses and which vs that
- tenses (e.g. simple present, simple past, present perfect)
- word order
