英文会议论文改稿指导笔记

1. 审稿人的关注点

好文章:想法好、表达好、语言好

对于会议论文,由于篇幅和审稿时间的限制,一篇文章以讨论一个方法、解决一个问题为好。

审稿人是志愿者,他们不一定与你来自同一领域,所以不要直接进入主题,而是要讲清楚问题的来龙去脉如果审稿人在读你的文章时感到有收获,你的文章会因此得分

审稿人手头经常会积累很多论文待审,所以文章一定要简明易读

审稿的典型的顺序是:题目作者摘要结论图表参考文献引言,审稿人看参考文献经常是看他/她的论文是否被引用至此,正文还没看,审稿人就已经有了是否收录的倾向性,后续的阅读只是为了找正面/负面的证据来支持他/她的决定。所以,要把所有重点在前面提到的几个环节中强有力地展示清楚,使得审稿人能够尽快正确理解你的论文的创新之处和贡献。

有一个很不好的做法,就是将摘要、导言里对方法的介绍和结论用同样的话进行表述,甚至互相拷贝。文章的摘要、介绍、结论,要在不同的细节层次上介绍你的方法、强调你的贡献。

文章末的参考文献要完整、相关性要强。当叙述到与本文相关的最新技术或不常用的技术时,一定要频繁地引用相关文献,不然审稿人有可能会误以为你把这些工作声明成你的贡献,最终对你的文章产生负面影响。

n “附录不常有。如果细节特别长,放在正文中影响正常的阅读节奏,导致读者读完细节就已经忘记了前文,则可以放在附录里,当读者希望看细节时再参考这一部分。

2. 修改论文的技巧

第一稿写完后,给自己不要超过一天的休息时间,开始修改第二稿。

修改时,还是以逻辑为主,但对每一句话都要推敲一下,对abstract和正文中的关键语句要字斟句酌。

第二稿的修改极为关键,再往后就不会大改了。第二稿以后的修改,主要注重具体的字句,不会改变整体逻辑了。

投稿前,一定要整体读一遍,对个别词句略作改动。

记住:学术期刊一般不会因为具体的语法错误而拒绝一篇文章,但一定会因为逻辑混乱而拒绝一篇文章。用最简单的话表达最明白的意思,但一定要逻辑严谨!

请别人帮你改过的版本最好保留下来,多跟帮你改文章的人交流,了解他们做这些改动的原因。

现在很多字处理软件都提供拼写检查功能,对于软件提示可能出错的字,一定要仔细再检查。

要用自己最熟悉的、确定不会产生歧义的单词。

要避免毫无疑问no doubt)、绝对absolutely)、显然obviously)这类绝对化的用词。

不要使用复杂的语句,要尽量简单明晰,便于读者理解。

要注意衔接过渡,选择正确的过渡词与联接词,还要注意转折,注意连贯性,避免行文跳跃。

尽量避免使用“most”来描述已证实的研究文献。如果你写大部分研究者发现什么什么(most researchers findsuch-and-such实际上你用了统计学的表达,意思是你知道一半以上的研究者已经发现什么什么。如果对含有大部分(most of…的句子要求你证实其数量你能做到吗?这就是该单词(most)所蕴含的意思。你可以使用“many”“several” “a number of”来代替。

n Research(研究)是一个集合名词,一般理解为包括大量的研究工作。因此,它实际上不应该使用复数形式,你可以使用“studies”“investigations”或其他相似词来代替。

缩写和首字母缩写: 在第一次使用时,对一个缩写或首字母缩写要进行定义(即写出全称),此后出现即一致使用该缩写。

罗马数字或数字单词:一般对1010以上的数字采用罗马数字表示;而个位数一般采用数字单词表示(如“one” “six”)。

3. 文章架构

1.0 topic

 好的题目有两个要素。首先,不能有歧义,要能让审稿人正确联想出文章做了什么。

其次,要便于记忆,否则读者日后要写论文时,你的论文早已经不知丢在何处,如果有容易记忆的题目,他会优先想到你的文章。要做到这点,题目要短、要有关键的字眼。一定要有一个吸引人的标题不要过于中立。“New Insights into ..”比起“Sulfur Poisoning Behaviorof ....”要档次高很多。

1.1 abstract

摘要就是给出论文的概况,吸引读者。、实验结果如何、

1) 阐述问题

2) 总结自己的解决方案/本文工作在这里要给一些适当的细节,简略描述你的方法是如何实现的、有哪些组成部分(components

3) 总结方案结果/本文贡献比现有的技术提高了多少。

1.2 introduction

导言部分很重要

1) 首先要讲明做本研究动机,讲明为什么本文所述的研究很重要?为什么该研究是值得做的?如果不能很好地论证,后面写得再好也没有用,因为大家不会浪费时间在没有用的东西上。

2) 其次,本文的贡献、创新性要明确突出,不要让人误认为你的研究与别人相似。Introduction一定是和后文前后对应的,后文反复强调引言中强调的创新性,不要过度发散,要紧扣introduction

3) 第三,介绍你的方法时要比摘要详细些,但是不要给太多的细节。

4) 第四,文章的大纲

1.3 previous work

相关工作是为了证明你的工作的新颖性的。因此对前人的研究的引用要完整,并且一定要尊重相关文献的作者,可以指出其缺点,但一定要礼貌,要以建设性的方式提出。

1) 将历史上前人的工作分成类别

2) 与自己提出的工作进行比较,对每类重要历史工作进行一到几句简短回顾,注意公正评价,不过于苛刻

3) 强调自己的工作和前人工作的不同,举出各自的应用场合的例子

1.4 Our work

正文用来介绍技术上的细节,终极目的是要让人理解你的方法并能重现实验结果。首先,逻辑要清晰,其次,技术上的细节不能缺失。但是,如果细节可能喧宾夺主,则要适当删减或挪到附录甚至补充材料里,以免干扰正常的阅读节奏。如果文章比较复杂,可以叙述一下方法的组成部分,画出框图,展示方法、内容及其关系。

 1) 从读者角度阐明定义和表示法

2) 提供算法的伪码,图解和相应解释

3) 用设问的方式回答读者可能提出的潜在问题

复杂的冗长的证明和细节可以放在附录中,这里关键是把问题阐述清楚;
特例和例外应该在脚注中给予说明。

 1.5 Experiments

文章的实验结果要证明我的方法的确比现有最好的方法还要好。有一个细节需要注意:有些同学在文中用红、绿、蓝色来指示对象,但经常图片打印出来都是灰色的,对象难以区分,所以最好不要用颜色来指示图片里的对象,而要尽量用不同样式的线型、填充模式等,再打印出来确认不同对象的确是可以区分的。另外,对于所有的图、表,要在正文里加以说明,对于反常规的结果尤其要突出地论述其原因。

 1) 合理地设计实验,写出详尽的实验步骤

2) 必要的比较,突出科学性

3) 讨论,说明结果的意义

4) 给出结论

1.6 Conclusions

结论部分是给读者留下印象的最后机会,要进一步突出自己的贡献。你还可以开诚布公地承认自己的缺点,其实这会让审稿人留下好印象,并且给其它读者以提升空间,让他们沿着你的方向继续前行。

1) 快速简短的总结

2) 未来工作的展望

1.7 References

众所周知的结论不必引用,其它的重要工作/言论要引用

1.8 Others

致谢、附录、脚注

4. 英文措辞

2.1技巧与注意点

1) 单词多变化,常用翻译软件搜寻同义词来替换单词

2) 在翻译软件中输入单词,看它例句,学会如何使用词组与句型

3) 英文-英文,读懂意思后,用自己的话说出来,否则是抄袭。在美国一些机构,连续7个英文单词在一起和别人的完全一样,原则上就被认为抄袭

4) 中文-英文,自己将中文文献中所用得到的语句翻译成英文。

2.2 英文学术论文常用句型

v Abstract

英文摘要的时态:

时态运用也以简练为佳,常用一般现在时、一般过去时,少用现在完成时、过去完成时,进行时态和其他复合时态基本不用。一般现在时。用于说明研究目的、叙述研究内容、描述结果、得出结论、提出建议或讨论等。涉及到公认事实、自然规律、永恒真理等,当然也要用一般现在时。一般过去时。用于叙述过去某一时刻 (时段) 的发现、某一研究过程(实验、观察、调查、医疗等过程)。需要指出的是,用一般过去时描述的发现、现象,往往是尚不能确认为自然规律、永恒真理的,而只是当时如何如何;所描述的研究过程也明显带有过去时间的痕迹。现在完成时和过去完成时。完成时少用,但不是不用。现在完成时把过去发生的或过去已完成的事情与现在联系起来,而过去完成时可用来表示过去某一时间以前已经完成的事情,或在一个过去事情完成之前就已完成的另一过去行为。

英文摘要的语态:

采用何种语态,既要考虑摘要的特点,又要满足表达的需要。一篇摘要很短,尽量不要随便混用,更不要在一个句子里混用。

主动语态:现在主张摘要中谓语动词尽量采用主动语态的越来越多,因其有助于文字清晰、简洁及表达有力。

被动语态:以前强调多用被动语态,理由是科技论文主要是说明事实经过,至于那件事是谁做的,无须一一证明。事实上,在指示性摘要中,为强调动作承受者,还是采用被动语态为好。即使在报道性摘要中,有些情况下被动者无关紧要,也必须用强调的事物做主语。

英文摘要的人称

原来摘要的首句多用第三人称 This paper…等开头,现在倾向于采用更简洁的被动语态或原形动词开头。例如:To describe…To study…To investigate…To assess…To determine…,行文时最好不用第一人称,以方便文摘刊物的编辑刊用。

避免一些语法错误

冠词。主要是定冠词 the 易被漏用。the 用于表示整个群体、分类、时间、地名以外的独一无二的事物、形容词最高级等较易掌握,用于特指时常被漏用。这里有个原则,即当我们用 the 时,听者或读者已经确知我们所指的是什么。例如:The authorfabricated a new ...The machine is operated with solar energy. 由于现在缩略语越来越多,要注意区分 a an,如 an X ray. 数词。避免用阿拉伯数字作首词,如 8 turn solenoid inductor…  单复数。一些名词单复数形式不易辨认,从而造成谓语形式出错。尽量使用短句。因为,长句容易造成语义不清;但要避免单调和重复。科技期刊涉及专业多,英文更是不易掌握,各行各业甚至表达方式、遣词造句都有区别。多看英文文献,也会有助于我们英文写作及水平的提高。
