@三磷酸腺苷继续改名 博士指导和推荐(感恩!),为提高论文写作水平,读了白青云(Iaine C. Bruce)教授《生命科学论文写作指南》一书,十分喜欢且收益匪浅。兹将读书笔记与尚在求学或做研究的同路者分享之。

以下是我认为最重要的:

General advice

  • Biomedical English is simpler than generalEnglish.
  • Start writing now!
  • Write and read aloud everyday.
  • Do not edit when writing.
  • Be simple, short, clear, concise.

Key points for Results:

  • No opinions or comments in results.
  • No repeat of data.
  • Begin with the most striking findings.

Key points for discussion

  • Point out the limitations.
  • Conclude with a clear and concisere-statement of the results and their importance.

Key points for methods

  • Simply set down in words the things you didin the order in which you did them.

Key points for introduction

  • Do not include any results or conclutions.
  • Not all previous studies.

Other details need special attention

  • Use abbreviations as few as possible.
  • No apostrophes if not necessary.
  • Can and could means some degree ofuncertainty.
  • Use strong words to describe results, suchas: confirmed, demonstrated, established, revealed, showed, verified.
  • Words for speculation: imply, indicate,may, might, perhaps, suggest, can, could.
  • Etc. is a misfit.
  • Delete the word including.
  • The word OBVIOUSLY is insulting.
  • Avoid out-of-date terminology.
  • Get to the point immediately, thenexceptions and details.
  • Use either significantly or p value.
  • Avoid there is unless absolutelynecessary.
  • Use standard English fonts in the manuscript, such as times new roman and arial.
  • Ethnic and plagiarism.
  • Make sure of getting through the instructions to authors of your intended journals.
