Writing Tips

1. Please check out how to write formal writing.

Avoid using a contraction for formal writing. Check out other tips from follwing links; 1) https://www.csuohio.edu/writing-center/informal-formal; 2) https://www.uts.edu.au/sites/default/files/HELPS%20Formal%20and%20Informal%20Language.pdf

2. Direct quotation.

Quotation marks ("") are for direct quotation, and do not overuse direct quotations (maximum one sentence).

"Not so many quotes because we are creating an argument, not a fact sheet. (Meiselman, 2020)"

"When using direct quotes, I find it helpful to say the quote and then make it your own by talking about what it means to you, how you interpret the quote, and the significance of the quote to the argument you are trying to make"(Wolfford, 2020)

Please "make sure you do not end on the analysis on a single quote when others are in the paragraph" (Uhrig, 2020).

 Too many quotations may also bore a reader who wants to know primarily what YOU have to say on the subject.

You can check more information about it via the following link: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/punctuation/quotation_marks/index.html (Links to an external site.)

3. brackets

There are four main types of parentheses that can be used in writing. However, not all of them are acceptable for use within all fields of writing. The four main types of brackets are:

1. Curved Brackets or Parentheses (…) are the most commonly used and are the focus of this article.

2. Square Brackets […] are most often used to include additional information from an outside source (someone other than the original author).

3. Curly Brackets {…} are often used in prose to designate a list of equal choices.

4. Angle Brackets <…> are typically used to enclose and illustrate highlighted information.

4. Check plagiarism rates.

Please remember that any paper that you write should be guided by your ideas and organization; the borrowed material is there to help support and lend credibility to any points you want to make. Do not let someone else's ideas run your paper.

5. Citation style.

Most people made mistakes in citation style for discussion posts. Check out below links for APA citation style:

6. Table/ figure

You can put a figure or a table created by you in the report.

7. LENGTH

Please put the reference list right after your writing, so it can fit into three pages. Try to make it fit full three pages as much as you can. Please continue your writing on the third page, and add your reference list right after your last paragraph.

8.Keep One Idea to One Paragraph

The basic rule of thumb with paragraphing is to keep one idea to one paragraph. If you begin to transition into a new idea, it belongs in a new paragraph. A paragraph should consist of at least two sentences. When a paragraph is a-page long for a three-pages report, check whether it has several ideas.

9. past tense vs. present tense

Use the past tense to report what happened in the past: what you did, what someone reported, what happened in an experiment, and so on. Use the present tense to express general truths, such as conclusions (drawn by you or by others) and atemporal facts (including information about what the paper does or covers).

11. Acronym

Introduce every acronym before using it in the text. The first time you use the term, put the acronym in parentheses after the full term. Thereafter, you can stick to using the acronym.

If you mention it only once, you do not need the acronym.

12. Tone of academic writing: dry

Academic writing is deliberately dry and impersonal to help researchers assess where the truth actually is, as opposed to where they would like it to be.

 "I would not use words such as very or many because they do not carry much meaning"(Meiselman, 2020).

One of the most overused adverbs is "very." Somehow, every experiment is "very innovative," every result "very interesting," and every conclusion "very important." When "very" isn't enough, you'll find "extremely." Often, these words can be omitted without effect.

Scientific writing is better to be dry and emphasize your opinion based on the fact, for example, by using numbers instead of using adjectives.

13. Be concise

I would like to recommend to work on how to be more concise in writing by removing redundancy or meaningless phrase like it is, this is, or there are.

You can check out other tips. https://researchinsiders.blog/2015/06/12/10-tips-for-more-concise-writing/ (Links to an external site.)

14. Summary

Finishing up your paragraph with a direct quote can easily lead to a weak conclusion.

15. numbers in writing

Small numbers ranging from one to ten (or one to nine, depending on the style guide) should generally be spelled out.

16. Subject

I never use contractions or personal words such as 'i', 'me', 'you', or 'our', as these are not viewed as professional or necessary in academic research works.

17. Abbreviation

The first time you use an abbreviation in the text, present both the spelled-out version and the short form.

When the spelled-out version first appears in the narrative of the sentence, put the abbreviation in parentheses after it:

· Example: We studied attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children.

When the spelled-out version first appears in parentheses, put the abbreviation in brackets after it:

· Example: The diagnosis (i.e., attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder [ADHD]) was confirmed via behavioral observation.

After you define an abbreviation (regardless of whether it is in parentheses), use only the abbreviation. Do not alternate between spelling out the term and abbreviating it.
