ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC RESEARCH VOCABULARY EXERCI...

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 (long
sentences  redundancy  poor structure etc.). It draws on English-related errors from around
5000 papers written by non-native authors  around 3000 emails  500 abstracts by PhD students 
and over 1500 hours of teaching researchers how to write and present research papers. The
exercises are organized into thirteen chapters on: adjectives and adverbs (e.g. actual vs
current  different vs several  continually vs continuously)  link words (e.g. on the contrary
vs on the other hand  despite vs nevertheless)  nouns (e.g. danger vs hazard  measure vs
measurement)  prepositions (e.g. among vs between  in vs into  with vs within)  verbs (e.g.
check vs control  compose vs comprise  arise vs raise  exclude vs rule out)  false friends and
synonyms  spelling  useful phrases  inclusive vocabulary  emails  using Large Language Models
for correcting  paraphrasing  and translating. Nearly all exercises require no actual writing
but simply choosing between various options  thus facilitating self-study  e-reading and rapid
progress. The exercises can also be integrated into English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and
English for Special Purposes (ESP) courses at universities and research institutes. The book
can be used in conjunction with the other exercise books in the series: English for Academic
Research: Writing ExercisesEnglish for Academic Research: Grammar Exercises Adrian Wallwork
