You don’t need to master English as a native speaker to write excellent scientific papers. If you have followed me for a while, you’ll have noticed that I talk a lot about structure when it comes to writing a killer scientific paper. The structure provides the skeleton of your paper and is, therefore, the most crucial bit. I find the perfect structure is best achieved by using a story-telling approach. Nevertheless, language is important too. Together with the content, it adds meat to the structural skeleton. Also, scientists think they have to sound fancy to be considered an expert. Therefore, papers are most difficult to understand if you aren’t researching the author's exact topic. However, good writing means putting your reader first. And your reader doesn’t want to spend hours to understand your paper. Contrary to many large scientific editing houses, I don’t think excellent scientific papers need advanced English vocabulary or perfect grammar skills. Or put differently, native speakers don’t automatically know how to write a scientific paper. That means non-native speakers aren’t terribly disadvantaged when it comes to paper writing compared to those who
speak English as their mother tongue. Both groups need to learn essential writing skills to publish their killer paper. Therefore, I’ve gathered some language mistakes I noticed scientists
repeatedly make when I edit their papers and will share them in this video.
