The major culprit causing poor writing is the lack of writer education, or to be more exact, the lack of realization of its necessity. This book presents not only the final formats of research papers but also fundamental principles based on which writers can choose words, sentences and paragraphs.
With an analysis of problems such as the lack of logical argument, connection between sentences, and the choice of words, this book provides concrete models.
Part Ⅰ and Ⅱ touch on basic conditions to improve readability; the choice of words, and building sentences and paragraphs. Part Ⅲ defines a general framework of a research paper and expounds essential elements to be included in smaller sections. Part Ⅳ deals with grammar in which non-native speakers most frequently make mistakes: articles, the passive voice, punctuations, and figures. Part Ⅴ discusses presentation skills, resumes, and personal statements.
