Reading Assignment 5

Welcome to my blog guys!

Last week I have delivered in my blog that in the article I selected has contains the seven main parts, such as the tittle, abstract, introduction, method, result, discussion, and conclusion.

Now I will explain what is contained in the points of my article.

v  In abstract → the author said that there are some important rule like most readers have little time to penetrate the full contents of an article. Readers will use almost any excuse to put down the paper, particularly when encountering poor writing that leads to reader fatigue and frustration. Make each sentence, paragraph, subsection, section, figure, derivation, etc. coherent and easily digestible nuggets of information. Your job as a writer is to communicate information and knowledge in a compelling and well written manner.

v  In introduction→ it is explained that the author wants to convey his views on the importance of language and why you can’t ignore manuscript language and explained about Classic errors to avoid. The author also said that poor language quality can delay or block publication. It is important to take seriously the presentation of your manuscript, especially the language you use to communicate results. Clarity in writing reflects on clarity in thought. Science is far more than mere fact recording. Written communication is key to transmitting knowledge and rendering an impact on the field. Without clear and proper language, readers will not grasp the full message or impact of your work. Even though the findings you report might be cutting edge, poor language quality, including errors in grammar, spelling or language usage, could delay publication or lead to outright rejection of the paper. Always use proper English. Use proper English throughout the entire manuscript, and do not forget the captions and headings in figures, charts, graphs, and photos.

v  In method→ in this part, the author explained the basic rules of manuscript language like manuscript language should be:

➞Accurate ➞Concise ➞Clear ➞Objective

Prevent spelling errors by using a spellchecker in English. Additionally, other common language errors involve:

■ Tenses

■ Grammar

■ Sentences

■ Paragraphs

You should always read the journal's Guide for Authors to check for any additional language specifications.

v  In result→ we can to know how to write a good and right in writing after reading this article. We also can avoid some mistakes because in this article the author explained how to avoid the mistakes and give many examples of that.

v  In discussion→ the author explain about how to write well like

Edit ➞ Read ➞ Edit ➞ Read ➞ Edit ➞ etc.

■ Consider the manuscript from a different perspective between each Edit ➞ Read cycle:

e.g., read in a different location; read it as an interested and smart non-expert.

Patience will reduce time with reviewers/editors, and will enhance the paper's read ability and impact.

■ Solicit "friendly" reviewer comments from colleagues, and be sure co-authors have read the manuscript. Ask readers to comment on the "style" of the manuscript as well as the substance.

■ Writing rules can be selectively broken without sacrificing clarity. But it is important to know and to respect the rules so to understand when they are usefully broken.

v  In conclusion→

Often authors assume that the publisher will correct the language of their manuscript after it has been accepted, but this assumption is not correct. It is actually the author's responsibility to make sure a paper is in the best form possible.

Doing so means correcting the rudimentary issues related to grammar and spelling, as well as providing a clear, logical, and connected story-line.

Though publishers do not correct language, they do often provide resources for authors who are less familiar with the conventions of international journals. Please check your publisher's Guide for Authors website for more information.

Some publishers may also perform technical screening prior to peer review. If the quality of the language of your paper does not meet a journal's minimum standards, it can be returned to you for improvement.

OK, that's enough from me and thank you for reading guys. I hope it can be useful for us.
bye bye..
