想写好SCI论文——不掌握这些高频词汇怎么行?
投必得学术在本期与大家分享SCI论文写作中的高频词汇短语。虽然大家的学科领域不同,但起承转合的论文写作逻辑套路是共通的,掌握了这些高频词汇和短语,了解了提示文章逻辑的连接词,又掌握了文章论述中惯用的表达方式,一定能帮您在SCI论文写作过程中更轻松容易,提高写作效率。
说起英语论文写作的重要性,相信广大做科研的小伙伴们可能各有各的领悟。Publish or perish, 发表或者毁灭,真是让人痛并渴望着。要想在科研界混,没有几篇拿得出手的SCI,还怎么愉快得在小伙伴面前装B, 还怎么在申请标书课题的时候拿来装点一下门面?但很多做科研的人,做起实验来是如鱼得水,潇洒自如,但是对于英文写作是望而生畏,一直苦于入门难,写成难,想写好更难。
不要紧,科研是一个讲规矩的世界,不但做课题设计有套路规范,英语论文写作也有一些基本的常识和构架在其中,其实把科研论文拆解来看,就会发现科研论文的格式很像是八股文,有很明显的套路的痕迹,依然是遵循起承转合的模式框架。Amy老师会在接下来的一系列课里帮大家梳理一下这些英语论文写作的必备基础知识和框架套路,再加上大家自身本学科领域的实验数据编排,慢慢融会贯通,运用自如,教大家如何更好地把文章推销给最好的出版社买家。虽然洋洋洒洒写上成千上万字的英文论文看上去有点头大,但是我们用模块化思维进行一一拆解,大家熟练掌握这些规则,相信肯定假以时日肯定能对英文写作驾轻就熟,也能对其他题材的英文文章写作有一定的启发和助益。希望大家从这门课程中Get more than scientific paper。
在这一节,我先带着大家对英语论文写作的高频词汇和短语部分做一个整理和总结。俗话说,巧妇难为无米之炊。什么是科研论文写作的米呢,就是词汇和短语。在基础科研中,要想文章写得准确清晰,要有多大的词汇量才够用呢?第一点建议是大家对自己研究术语表达和内涵要清楚,为了增加文章的多样化表达,对应常用专业术语的各种同义词表述要做一个整理。第二点,大家要掌握英语论文写作的高频词汇,像是逻辑连接词、程度副词、动词、上义词和下义词的指代等等。
第一部分
我先介绍一些英语论文写作中常用的逻辑连接词。如何让读者快速抓到文章的脉络呢,这其中少不了逻辑连接词的功劳,逻辑连接词的作用就好比是线,把一个个的论点论据给串起来。逻辑连接词也是文章逻辑最直观的体现。
