<\/a>Manuscript writing is the focus of one presentation at this medical conference<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday, November 5, Wordvice\u2019s content manager, Kevin, was honored to speak as a guest lecturer at the Transplantation Society of Taiwan\u2019s 2017 Annual Conference in Taipei. The topic of the presentation was methods medical researchers can use to edit their work for content, grammar, and style while drafting and revising their manuscripts in order to improve the chances of their work being published in scientific journals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0The importance of “quality of writing”\u00a0for getting published<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Despite the time constraint due to scheduling, Kevin\u2019s presentation managed to convey essential information for writers, suggesting editing approaches that medical (and other) researchers can practical apply to improve their manuscripts. Although the audience was composed predominately of medical professionals with years of experience working in a highly specialized and technical profession, their clear interest in the presentation shows just how important the basic element of \u201cquality of writing\u201d is to journal publications and how easily it is overlooked by researchers when writing about their research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason, Lee Wei-Chen, the chairman of the Transplantation Society of Taiwan, considers English writing to be a critical skill for its members and thus proposed including Wordvice\u2019s lecture on manuscript writing as a supplemental this year’s conference schedule. Since journal publication is crucial to any research department, the Taiwan Transplantation Society is heartened to have such a thoughtful, pragmatic chairman at the helm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing which errors to avoid is half the battle<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the lecture, Kevin shared the results of Wordvice\u2019s thorough 2016-2017 study, which analyzed millions of words of edited text and illuminated the most common writing errors in content, grammar, and style that occur in research papers\u2014errors which he has of course personally encountered during his years of editing experience. Presented in such stark and \u201cscientific\u201d fashion, these results remind even the most seasoned researchers to examine their manuscripts carefully before submitting to journals (and even before sending them to the Wordvice editor<\/a>) in order to increase the chances of their manuscript being published and seen by readers and fellow researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
