第一篇:英文论文写作
2.怎样写英文摘要?
可以按照论文的逻辑结构撰写摘要,如概述、目的、方法、结果、结论、展望的顺序。概述(30词左右):用最简洁的语言概括论文内容。例如:This paper is… 或 This study focuses on…
目的(30词左右):用To…就可以了,没有必要使用 in order to 或者 for the purpose of 等较长的表述。
方法(50词左右):尽可能具体地说明操作的步骤,其中注意时态的使用。常用的词汇有:test, study, investigate, examine, analyze, measure, application 等。
结果(50词左右):直入主题地摆出结果,如 This paper shows… 或 The results are…
结论(60词左右):删去类似于“The result of the study showed that…” 的赘语,逐条罗列出结论。
展望(20词左右):指出研究对未来的意义,如 This paper is of great significance in… 或指出不足。
3.英文摘要有多长?
一般情况下用一段的篇幅完成英文摘要,特殊情况可以分成两到三段,但最好不要超过三段。长度一般为200字到300字之间。
4.英文摘要用什么语态和人称?
规范的学术文章通常采用被动语态,突出信息。但由于主动语态的表述更为清楚,现在有些地方也要求采用主动语态。
5.英文摘要用什么人称?
最好不要出现I,we等第一人称代词,而是使用第三人称,如the author等。
6.英文摘要用什么时态?
摘要的时态以一般现在时为主,表示一种存在于自然界的客观规律。在特殊的情况下可以使用一般过去时或现在完成时,用来表明一定范围内的结论或是某一过程的延续性。描述具体的动作时通常用一般过去时,总结主要的结果时通常用一般现在时。
注意:用paper 做主语来描述论文概况时后面常用一般现在时:This paper aims to focus on… 而采用study 来描述相同的内容时则常用一般过去时:This study investigated…
7.一定不能出现的东西
不常见的术语,插图,表格,数学公式,化学方程式,中文标点,过多的形容词,无关的背景资料,自我评价等。
200余篇英文论文被SCI/EI收录的牛人教你如何
写英语论文
今天我很荣幸地听了唐远炎教授关于<<如何写英语论文>>的讲座,唐远炎教授在国际刊物和国际会议上发表学术论文250多篇(其中包括22本书籍,及章节), 其中 SCI检索80余篇,EI检索100余篇.听了他的讲座之后,感觉受益匪浅,有些观点和思想很有参考价值.在此想跟虫友们分享一下.通过整理,在写英语论文过程中,主要注意的有以下几点:
第一.对于初写英语论文的人来讲.最好不要对原中文论文进行直译.在谈到这个观点时,唐教授一再强调初写英语论文一定要“抄”,也就是说搜集一些类似的国外高级刊物的英语论文,在这些论文中找到要表达相似意思的英文句子,使用它的句型.这样写出来的论文更适合外国人的思维方式.也能让外国人更容易理解.同时也更容易被SCI,EI检索.他还说,按这种方式写过5篇论文左右,一些地道的英语表达方式就可以熟练的记住了.第二.在写英语论文之前,首先要确定你要投什么样的期刊.其实投中文期刊论文也是这样的.举个很简单的例子,前几天,我有一个同学,写了一篇用数学问题解决纺织工程问题的论文.导师指导他说:“如果你想投到<<纺织学报>>,在写论文时,在内容上就应该对一些数学知识作详细的说明,而纺织知识可以作粗略的介绍,但如果你想投到<<应用数学>>期刊,那就应该对纺织的一些基础知识作详细的说明!”.因此,投不同类型的期刊有不同的写作手法.这样可以提高论文的录用率.第三.要想写出被SCI/EI检索的文章一定要多花功夫在标题和摘要上.这也许是大家都知道的.外国人更注重创新,只要你觉得自己的观点有创新点,就不要怕不会被外文收录.还有一句话我还记忆忧新:“做很少人做的研究领域,做难的研究领域”.这样的文章很容易被录用.第四.中国有句古话:“熟读唐诗三百首 不会作诗也会吟.”在写英语论文之前,做大量的阅读是必要的.但最好应该去读那些英语是母语国家学者写的论文.但是,必须注意的是.无论是硕士还是博士,永远应该把专业放在第一位,英语是放在第二位.英语只是一种工具.只是一种帮助你科研的工具.第五.写英语论文时,不要使用外国人没有使用过的句型.即使这样的句子在语法上没有问题.但是外国人就是看不懂.也就相当于是一个病句.也许这种“病句”对你考CET有用,其实学英语口语也是这样的.在练英语口语时,希望虫友们记住:“讲外国人从来没说过的英语,即使语法没有问题,也是错的.”我国著名语言学家说过:“想学好一门外语,首先要学好其文化!”
以上就是我总结的一些观点.希望能对广大的虫友们有所帮助.同时希望你们能提出自己的观点.大家互相交流.实现我们共同的目标!
如果你有新的观点或对我的观点不赞同,大家一起探讨,谢谢批评指正!

通过这几天和虫友们的交流.我总结了一点新的观点.首先声明,这是真心话,希望能认真体会,能理解其中真意之后,一定就会懂的如何做研究。我老板平均每个毕业的博士都有6篇以上的SCI,他从来不强求学生发文章,只教如何做研究。下面的问题,他只和我说过一次,之后我的行动与之不相符就会被骂。现在成了习惯来这样思考,做事,发现真是事半功倍。
1.你在做研究之前,想过结果能不能发表没有?往哪里发?
2.写文章的高手是先把文章大框写好,空出数据来,等做完实验,填完空就可以发了。正谓心中有沟壑。
3.在想不清楚要写什么,要发到哪里去,自己做的与同行做的有什么出色之处,之前,就不要动手做事。去看文献,去想。想不清楚就做,不如不做 要想这样子做,就得先看文献不是?要知道如何把文章架起来,要知道别人是如何讨论的,要知道你自己的数据是不是说明了与别人不一样的东东或别人没有做过。这个过程就是看文献,想的过程,这些搞清楚了,写就简单了。要是先做事,做完发现别人做过,或无法用理论解释,岂不是冤大头? 这可是哥们儿我被老板骂过NN次得来的血的教训啊。本来不想把这种丢人的事写出来的,可看到兄弟们好多在犯和我同样的错误,就写一下罢。但愿有用

第二篇:英文论文写作体会
本人近日侥幸在某SCI索引的外刊发表一篇论文,想在这里浅谈一下发外文的体会,供学弟、学妹们参考。我觉得发外文时主要注意以下几点:1.论文中必须至少有一个创新点。创新点或是开创性的工作,或是对原有工作的改进,或是提出一种新方法。老外对公式不是很看重,主要看你是否有创新。2.在外刊上发过文章的同学都知道,Introduction部分是最难写的,我认为在这部分中不但要提及题目的意义,别人的研究成果,更重要的是要指出你这篇论文的贡献,以吸引审稿人的眼球。3.标题也很重要,即要新颖又要体现你的论文的主要工作及采用的方法4.实验素材要丰富,以数据说话,让人感觉你作了许多工作。5.要直接用英文写,学会用英语语言思考问题,不要先写成汉语再翻成英语,这样写出来的东西总有点中国英语的味道,让审稿人看起来不舒服。6.平时多看一些牛刊的论文,摘抄一个常用的语句及段落,如开场白、题目的意义、章节安排、语气转折等,活学活用。这样写出来的文章看起来就很漂亮了。7.对审稿人提出的修改意见或建议一定要认真对待,尽量满足他们的要求,如你认为某些意见或建议不妥,要在回信中加以阐述。8.认真研究所发期刊的参考文献的引用格式。我的一位师兄就是因为这点直接被拒了。

第四篇:论文写作之英文语法
学术论文的语言表达 2006-10-30 16:26 总则
语言风格清晰流畅的书面语言。注意向已发表的文章学习语言专业术语必须从该领域的文献中学习避免自创的新奇语句,应注意的问题:
一、时态
时态是个比较复杂的问题虽然有一般的规则,但往往在实际文章中很难把握总体的规则,已在前边讲过需要重申的是在同一段落中要避免时态跳跃详见学术论文的写作。最常见的描述一般现象的时态是一般现在时有时也用一般过去时或一般将来时,需要注意的语法In recent years 作时间状语时通常要用完成时。In recent years, Plesch and coworkers have concluded that many so-called cationic polymerizations do not proceed through intermediates of an ionic nature.二、数
数也有其复杂化,特别是在学术论文里有是很难顾及数上的逻辑,但一般不将逻辑上的问题视为语法错误。只须注意在一个句子中的数和谓语动词的统一即可.以下是需要注意的语法不规则变化的单复数。单数 复数
criterion criteria 依据 phenomenon phenomena 现象 medium media 介质 radius radii 半径 index indices 指数 appendix appendices 附录 stimulus stimuli 刺激 basis bases 基础 synthesis syntheses 合成 matrix matrices 基体
Novel biomaterials with improved, specific biological action are being developed using polymers that are responsive to environmental stimuli.一些数有特殊性的名词:data, kinetics 通常作复数名词;research, work: 不可数名词
The data in Table 1 are obtained from the reactions at different temperatures.The kinetics of polymerization within each droplet are the same as those for the corresponding bulk polymerization.Much research has been done to redirect the tropism of retroviruses by engineering the envelope glycoprotein.Most research on poly(ortho esters)has focused on the synthesis of polymers.一些结构的数 <主谓的统一> one of 复数名词单数 none of 复数名词复数

Ara-C is one of most important antitumor agents, especially used in the treatment of various leukaemias.One of possibilities for enhancing the pharmacological properties is to link it to a carrier.Biocompatibility is one of the main criteria for the selection of a particular biomaterial.Controlled drug delivery technology represents one of most rapid advancing areas of science in which chemists are contributing to human health care.Several models have been proposed but none appear to be generally applicable.None of the presently used ones are applied rigorously.Thus far no studies have conclusively demonstrated long-term value of any of the cardiac gene therap approaches.This type of termination is often referred to as spontaneous termination.A number of polymer backbones that are potentially degradable are detailed in the text.The number of mechanisms which have been proposed to explain the stereopecificity of Ziegler-Natta catalysts.* The number of 复数名词: 整个做主语时谓语应为单数;但此句的动词have 是从句的谓语 而从句是形容mechanisms.在其它的从句谓语中也是同样如: One of the mechanisms which have been……
A series of telomers reported in table 1 were then synthesized.A diverse range of mechanisms have been developed.Polymers are a promising class of biomaterials that can be engineered to meet specific end-use requirements.The most important class of poly(amides)for controlled release are the poly(amino acids).The majority of poly(anhydrides)are prepared by melt-condensation polymerization.A wide variety of natural and synthetic polymers have been used to fabricate tissue-engineering matrices.后面通常要用复数名词对可数名词而言 various different most all many several one of many of kinds of a number of the number of a(wide)variety of a class of a series of a wide range of Dozens of different types of receptors are present on the average mammalian cell.In a number of special applications(e.g.contact lenses and skin-grafting materials), additional requirements such as transparency should be considered when selecting a polymer.Many of these transmembrane proteins are receptors.Some polymers are highly crystalline primarily because their structure is conductive to packing, while others are crystalline primarily because of the secondary forces.For still other polymers, both factors may be favorable for crystallization.形容可数名词的量词 a few many a number of 形容不可数名词的量词
a great/small/certain amount of a great/good deal of 形容可数和不可数名词均可的量词 a lot of lots of Although a few polymers may be completely amorphous and a few completely crystalline, most polymers are partially or semi-crystalline in character.The use of IPNs has received a great deal of attention in recent years and different kinds of IPN have been synthesized with different compositions.The major amount of work on size distributions has been on polyesters and polyimides.A sizeable amount work has been published on the copolymerizations of various cyclicmonomers.以下结构的谓语的数由前一个决定, as well as…… 由较靠近谓语动词的决定 not only……but also…… either……or…… neither……nor……
三、冠词
冠词是最易犯错误的地方一定要注意否则编辑的负担极重因为每句话都会用到冠词最普通的规则如下:
单数名词前一般要加冠词a , the 等 但有些情况可不加复数名词前一般可不加冠词也可加the, these, those.The molecular weight of a polymer is of prime importance in its synthesis and application.The rate constant can be expressed by an Arrhenius type relationship K = A e-E/RT Where A is the collision frequency factor, E the Arrhenius activation energy, and T the Kelvin temperature.A plot of lnK versus 1/T allows the determination of both E and A from the slope and intercept, respectively.When a water-insoluble or only slightly water-soluble monomer is added, a very small fraction dissolves and goes into solution.A large but still small portion of the m onomer enters the interior hydrocarbon part of the micelles.The largest portion of the monomer is dispersed as monomer droplets.被修饰的名词前要加the: There has been a rapidly increasing effort in the last ten to fifteen years toward the synthesis of new polymers with markedly higher temperature resistance than those previo usly available.The catalysts usually must be prepared at the low temperatures since most of them become heterogeneous when prepared at or warmed up to the temperatures above abou t-40.四、从句分词不定式
这些是写作时常用且必须用到的结构一定要掌握在学术论文中从句分词不定式通常用来作修饰
Applications in the relatively new field of tissue engineering, where polymers are used to assist regeneration of three-dimensional tissue structures, are more and more int egrated with biological demands.There are three general synthetic approaches that have been used to produc e polymers with increased thermal stability.If certain symmetry requirements are met, the molecules are able to pack into an ordered, lattice arrangement and crystallization occurs.The temperature at which this occu rs is Tm.There are at least two mechanisms through which the infectivity of a vector can be blocked.Biodegradable polymers containing ˋ hydrolysable ˊ groups in their chains, which are susceptible to biodegradation to low molecular weight, nontoxic products, have also been considered for controlled drug delivery systems.Polymers possessing high strength, solvent and chemical resistance, and serviceability at high temperatures would find a variety of uses.The challenge facing cell and molecular biologists is to decipher how cellular events occur.A general problem encountered in many of the polymerization systems has been a difficulty in obtaining polymers of sufficiently high enough molecular weight to have reasonable strength properties.Another approach to obtain rigid polymer chains is by the synthesis of spiro polymers.五、标点
英文中一句话结束要用句号注意避免过长的句子这点与汉语中常用逗号的习惯不同,请注意以下结构的标点 …… such as A and B …… …… such as A, B and C …… …… , such as A, …… …… , for example, …… …… , for example …… …… ,e.g., …… …… ,i.e., …… ……, respectively.六、掌握一些学术论文常用的短语结构可大大降低写作的难度 In order to meet all of these criteria, the vector must deliver the gene accurately.To overcome this problem, it would be advantageous to pseudotypelentiviral vectors with targeted MLV envelopes.Besides identifying suitable proteases for targeting, the success of this protease-targeting strategy relies on the accessibility of the linker to protease cleavage.We have focused our investigations on the in vitro and in vivo biological response of a mouse cell line.On the contrary, the homotelomer derivative 11 exhibits no substantial loss of cytotoxicity compared to free Ara-C.After more than three decades of development, in which numerous polymers have been used to replace body parts, clinical success is still relatively rare.In some cases, polymeric materials for drug delivery must satisfy additional requirements, such as environmental responsiveness(e.g.pH-or temperature dependent phase or volume transformations.)Owing to the nature of these interactions, surface modification strategies have been used to optimize specific surface properties.Several approaches to surface modification exist.In general, both chemical and physical modifications of the polymeric surface may significantly increase the biocompatibility.A host of new polymers have been developed specially for surgical applications, particularly drug delivery.For roughly the past three or four decades, biology has been undergoing a revolution toward a quantitative mechanistic understanding of cell and organism behavior.They offer improved mechanical properties and ease of synthesis.Specific gel systems are described in more detail in the following sections.Perhaps the strongest motivation for polymeric delivery systems is that many of the more recently discovered molecules require delivery at a very localized level due to their mechanism of action.A particular challenge in addressing materials issues for tissue engineering is that the biological processes are not yet understood well enough to allow a clear set of design parameters to be specified a priori.Over $20 billion is spent annually on therapeutic management of CHF treatments alone but the overall outcome is not highly successful.Unless tissue-specific gene targeting techniques have been developed, intravenous injection of recombinant viral vectors is unlikely to be the choice of gene delivery due to systemic infection and low efficiency of gene transfer.In most instances, there is some molecular weight range for which a given polymer property will be optimum for a particular application.The control of molecular weight is essential for the practical application of a polymerization process.Solid polymers differ from ordinary, low molecular weight compounds in the nature of their physical state or morphology.On the other hand, the highly flexible chain leads to very low values of Tg and Tm.Molecular symmetry of polymer chains also plays an important role in determining Tg and Tm.The reason for this is that the extent of crystallinity developed in a polymer is both kinetically and thermodynamically controlled while the melting temperature is only the rmodynamically controlled.This explains clearly why even the moderately high degree of syndiotacticity present in a polymer such as PMMA is not enough to allow it to crystallize extensively.Polymers vary widely in their mechanical behavior depending on the degree of crystallinity, the degree of crosslinking, and the values of Tg and Tm.The general order of thermodynamic stability of different sized ring structures is, thus, given by 3,4,8 to 11 < 7,12 and larger < 5 < 6 There are two important aspects with regard to the control of molecular weight in polymerizations.The rate constants for these reactions are orders of magnitude greater than those for the corresponding reactions of the diacid or diester reactants.The discussions until this point have been concerned with the polymerization of bifunctional monomers to form linear polymers.Of the polymers discussed in the previous section, only the polyimides have been far into the desired …
This corresponds to a two-or three-fold rate increase for a 10°C temperature increase.While the H values vary over a wide range for different monomers, the S values are insensitive to structure –being relatively constant within the range of 20-30cal/K mol.Some polymerizations show a rapid rise in Rp followed by a rapid decrease to the steady-state polymerization rate.Emulsion polymerization refers to a unique process employed for some radical chain polymerization.To a large extent, the molecular weight and polymerization rate can be varied independently of each other.The system undergoes a very significant change after only a few percent of the total monomer has been converted to polymer.As a consequence the monomer droplets are no longer stable and will coalesce if agitation is stopped.Each of the curves in Fig.1 is relatively typical of emulsion polymerization behavior.The mechanism is not well understood due to the experimental difficulties involved in the study.The monomers have been arranged in Table 1 in their general order of reactivity.The classification of a ring-opening polymerization as a chain or step polymerization can be made on two bases.This is explainable in terms of the differences in the reaction mechanisms involved.学术论文中避免语言等错误的建议,在稿件寄出前请按以下程序分别检查各项内容: 是否有人称和动词的不统一第三人称单数的动词是否都加了-s 2 是否有时态的错误 3 是否有数的错误 4 是否有冠词的错误 5 是否有单词拼写的错误 6 是否有大小写的错误 7 是否有标点的错误 8 是否有标题格式编号错误 9 是否有文献格式的错误 是否有页码的错误有无 ┮ 颠倒<包括全文和附图表> 11 是否有寄信的地址姓名的拼写的错误

several problems are associated with them.l although some progress has been made in this area, at least two major obstacles must be overcome before a fully automated system can be realized.l most problems in practice are complicatedl more problem surface here.l hamper effort toward a xx systeml in order to overcome the limitations due to incomplete and imprecise xx knowledge, a xx program has

in order to apply this new methodological framework to real‑world problems and data, we have to pay attention to the problems of xx and xx.chapter 3.proposed methodologyassumptionl in the case when the assumption of a xx seems to be too restrictive or inadequate, the formulation with fuzzy termination time, i.e.given by a fuzzy set in the space of control stages, may be applied.l we assume here the fuzzy constraints to be state‑dependent, and the fuzzy goal to be the same for all the control states, xx, which stems from the problem's nature.l an approach to the solution of this problem is presented under the assumption that the sampling rate decision can be made prior to the execution of the experiment, as opposed to being made while the experiment is in progress.l another assumption made above is that there are precise odds at which the expert is indifferent.l main simplifying assumptions are:l this, in our view, is a questionable assumption.outline / structure / modulel an

of the integrated system.l the model consists of four rule bases, each of which addresses a separate problem in the hierarchy of scheduling decision.l the rule bases are linked to each other in a chin‑like manner in the sense that the consequent of one rule base constitutes a part of the antecedent of the next rule base.l the rule base consists of all possible combinations of the linguistic terms associated with the linguistic variable of the antecedent of a rule.computer systeml the system has been implemented using prolog language in an ms‑dos environment.prolog was chosen because it offers a well known and flexible environment in which fuzzy reasoning may be easily implemented.l the current version of the xx program when compiled with watfor77 results in an executable code of about 270k bytes.typical run time, when run on a xx computer(an ibm compatible machine)operating at 4.77 mhz with 640k ram, ranges from 10 min to 2h, depending on the size(or complexity)of the problem.l time consuming procedures have been implemented in c‑language and directly linked to the prolog environment.l the xx process, once the xx's data has been entered, requires approximately 180 seconds.l it should be noted that the computation was done with a 20 hhz, 80386‑based microcomputer equipped with a 80387 math co‑processor.l the computer programs used for the analyses, one based on the xx method and the other based on the new method, were written in fortran with a compiler that supports the math co‑processor.l lisp, prolog give maximum flexibility but also maximizes development time.l internal representation is the way a model is represented in the computer.l an interactive menu-driven procedure is used in this studyl shell can be develop very fast at the cost of time fairly severe limitations.l while there is no measurable saving of time for the case involving five criteria, the saving is dramatic for the case involving 10 criteria--the computation time reduces from 10 hr 40 min to about 1 min.l this combination is being implemented in an objected‑oriented programming environment(smalltalk‑80 system)to solve problems encountered in construction xxx.method / approach

keep the domain narrow enough to be implementable, yet wide enough to be useful.point of viewl from an implementation standpoint,l from the point of view of this application,l from this point of view, zadeh suggested an inference rule named xxx(cri for short).l information is the meaningful interpretation and correlation of some aggregation of data in order to allow one to make decisions.l from a practical point of view, the computational aspects of an flc require a simplification of the fuzzy control algorithm.l the use of a hammer to insert screws, although partly effective, tends to distort, destroy, and generally defeat the purpose of using a screw [kusiak ai implications for cim p.129]justificationl we choose the so called xx in our experiment because it has received wide acceptance and canl prolog was chosen because it offers a well known and flexible environment in which fuzzy reasoning may be easily implemented.l the rationale behind this is that it can be much easier for an estimator to rate a cost as high than to attempt to place a dollar value on the estimate.l this strategy has been widely used in fuzzy control applications since it is natural and easy to implement.l a function definition expresses the membership function of a fuzzy set in a functional form, typically a bell‑shaped function, etc.such functions are used in flc because they lead themselves to manipulation through the use of fuzzy arithmetic.l it should be noted that in our daily life most of the information on which our decisions are based is linguistic rather than numerical in nature.seen in this perspective, fuzzy control rules provide a natural framework for the characterization of human behavior and decisions analysis.l many experts have found that fuzzy control rules provide a convenient way to express their domain knowledge.this explains why most flcs are based on the knowledge and experience which are expressed in the language of fuzzy “if‑the” rule.chapter 4.examplesexample/ datal the data used in the following example was taken from an experiment in which xx was measured between x and x using a xx technique.l the data consists of over xx measurements.l an example of xx is discussed and the control rules of xx are compared with a xxl examples of complex processes to which this technique may be applied are xx, xx, etc.l the following example is constructed only for the purpose of illustrating the computational procedure discussed.l this example clearly demonstrates that the profile of an individual xx, or a very small group of xx, with no enough data to be studied statistically, can be meaningfully analyzed by fuzzy possibilistic methods.l there is no space here to go into detail on all these methods, but deserve a mention and the bibliography will point to detailed references for those wishing this level of detail.l note that the golf ball spotting example is used throughout the paper.comparisonsl as well, the pros and cons of these representations from a process planning point of view will be discussed.l the method of using xx to implement xx described by zadeh(1973)appeared more suitablel as discussed [in the previous

fast decision making processl all the algorithms involve mostly logical operations.l it can be easily and without additional cost implemented in a microprocessor‑based environment.l it can reduce the waste of designing from scratch.l the advantages of using a xx to represent xx are the following:l however, xx is not without its shortcomings.l in most cases, the xxx shows an improvement over the existing xxx.l compared to the existing xx, the impacts of the xx are generally reduced by 5% to 9%.l the “best case” results shows a savings of 6% to 9%.l most of the existing works based on xx approach can only recognize a xx.l most of the above methods are computational expansive and limited to xx.l some other advantages of xx are the following:l the problem is the limitation of this method to a limited domain of parts.l it proved limited in application because it demanded precision in system modeling that was impossible in practice.l there are advantages to be gained in the structuring of costs and benefits, the use of xx, l the disadvantages of this method are also disadvantages of conventional xx approaches.l this combines the best features of both techniquesl hopefully, this tool can be as the reference framework of for developing a xx platform, and helping the administration, marketing, and knowledge management activities in virtual communities.resultsl
