How to maintain a formal tone during the writing of academic papers

The writing of academic papers needs to abide by some common expressions. For example, in writing English, it is generally used. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid excessive use of informal or oral English expression.

Written words and daily speaking often have different tone. When writing academic papers, a simple and easy -going skills are to replace some words that sound not sound enough or even partially linked (these words are generally very common in daily term) and replace it with more formal written words.

Sometimes, you may only need to adjust the individual words to make the tone of the entire sentence appear more formal. Not only that, in some cases, by clever use of a more formal word for replacement, in addition to the improvement of written language tone, it may also increase the clarity of writing.

Look at a simple example:

M Cadmium nephrotoxicityistubular dysfunction.

(The renal toxicity of cadmium refers to renal dysfunction.)

Although "IS/Are" is a very basic and common type of verb in English expression, in the above examples, the use of it is not very appropriate and accurate. In addition to the renal toxicity of cadmium, there are other forms of renal tubular dysfunction; in addition to renal tubular dysfunction, the renal toxicity of cadmium may also involve other aspects. Therefore, through "IS", the two sounds exactly equal, so that the expression is not clear and accurate.

Then, you might as well rewrite it:

M Cadmium Nephrotoxicity Manifests as tubular dysfunction.

(The renal toxicity of cadmium manifests as a dysfunctional dysfunction.)

Compared to the "IS" and "MANIFESTS AS" in the original sentence, not only make the meaning of the sentence clearer and accurate, but also make the written expression of academic content more formal.

Below are more examples. You can consider the more common words or phrases in daily terms such as such as specific situations to replace them with more formal synonymous words. Try it out, is the replaced papers that look less spoken?

A small explanation is that over time, language expression habits will change to a certain degree, and some words may gradually appear more formal or informal. In other words, the words that use formal tone are not unchanged at any time. However, the above suggestions should be applicable in most cases.

Use words to replace it,

Make the dissertation more concise

In addition to the formal written expression of tone, the writing of academic papers should also use accurate and concise languages ​​to clearly present scientific research content and research ideas.

Although scientific propositions or research content discussed in academic papers are often complicated, in order not to give readers an additional understanding of the burden, the language expression of the paper itself should be simple.

Therefore, when writing academic papers, like testing the reader's reading comprehension ability, you should deliberately write some complicated and obscure sentences. Under the premise of not affecting the semantics, simple sentences should be used as possible.

In fact, there are many simple writing skills to express the papers. For example, a long sentence is split appropriately, and it is reorganized into two simpler short sentences; avoid using some unnecessary "theres be ..." Structure, directly highlight the true master, predicate, and so on. In short, according to the specific situation of the sentence, to see if it can be rewritten more concise.

However, sometimes it is not necessary to make overall changes or even rewriting the sentence. In some cases, if you replace it with words, you can make the papers in the phrase sentence more concise.

For example, in English expression, many nouns have its corresponding verb forms. With the premise of not affecting the meaning, it is necessary to use a noun, and it often needs to be matched with an insufficient verb (such as "IS" or "HAS", etc. For details, please refer to the "IS" in the previous sentence. Example), why not use the verb form of this noun directly?

Please carefully taste the following examples:

Re These resultsare in agreementwith prior findings.

Re These Resultsagreewith Prior Findings.

(These results are consistent with the results of the previous research.)

M WeperFormed An Analysis ofseveral Factors.

Z Weanalyzedseveral factionors.

(We have analyzed a few factors.)

U Our Resultsare in Opposition tojohnson ’s Study.㊣ Our ResultsContradictjohnson's Study.

(Our results are contradictory with Johnson's research.)

H Our method an improvementover prior systems.

H Our methodProveson prior systems.

(Our method improved the previous system.)

S Ajeawas Found to be presentin the nucleus.

C Ajealocalizedto the number.

(Ajea is positioned as the nucleus.)

Re Table 1pRensents a Summary Office Patient Data.

U Table 1sumMarizesthe Patient Data.

(Table 1 summarizes the patient's data.)

从上述6个典型的例子均可以看出，通过使用能够传达明确行动的信息性动词，来进行巧妙的替换之后，除了可能在一定程度上增加句子的清晰度之外，更明显的是，句子The expression is more concise.
