Improving Scientific Writing Skills


Do you want to publish with greater confidence in English? Master the principles of scientific writing and improve the clarity and quality of your academic texts.


In this course, you will learn the key principles of academic writing for an international audience, including practical guidance on what to do and what to avoid. The course focuses on the language, phrases, and concise style characteristic of scientific writing. Through tasks based on model texts from peer-reviewed publications, you will gain valuable insights and learn techniques that can be applied directly to your own academic writing.


Instructor

Eleanor Lurring, MBA, MA Applied Linguistics and TESOL, UK accredited proofreader

is a native English speaker from the UK. With over thirty years of experience teaching high-level English, she now focuses on helping writers produce academic texts for publication. Eleanor proofreads and edits academic texts such as research articles, PhD dissertations, conference papers, motivation letters, and grant applications. She works with doctoral and post-doctoral researchers in various branches of science, education, engineering, humanities, and economics. This may be consultancy work if the structure and content of a text need attention, or it may be proofreading for accuracy and reader-friendly style.
