TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR WRITING
Check out PHDFASTER blog for tips to improve your writing. Find out about common mistakes in academic and scientific writing. Learn to write with style and impact.
Proofreading vs Editing
What is the difference between Proofreading and Editing? Proofreading corrects spelling, grammar, punctuation and syntax mistakes while editing improves clarity, consistency, readability and flow.
Which vs That
Which vs That — when to use them? These two words are often used interchangeably, and this is grammatically wrong. Use ‘which’ in defining clauses and use ‘that’ in non-defining clauses.
US vs UK Spelling of
Common Academic Words
It is not uncommon for authors to use both US and UK spellings in their manuscript. Avoid this inconsistency by learning the UK and US spelling of common academic words.
What is Academic Rigour?
Academic rigour is the hallmark of a good author. By fine-tuning your conceptual, methodological and analytical skills, you can produce a manuscript of publishable quality.
