1 大写/小写
一篇论文中使用的各个章节标题需要用大写字母(摘要、引言、方法论等) (Abstract, Introduction, Methodology etc.).
An example: In your discussion of the literature – here discussion is used in a general sentence, it could be replaced by a synonym, for instance, analysis
In your Discussion you need to – here Discussion refers to the Discussion section of the paper.
2 基本词序
主语、动词、直接宾语和间接宾语之间要尽可能接近。
正例：Last week the researchers sent their manuscript to the journal for the second time.
反例：The researchers last week sent for the second time to the journal their manuscript.
3 你想强调什么
把想强调的放在句子前面。前两句，physics放前面，显然不是作者想强调的。第四句X是作者想强调的，这也是物理领域的作者感兴趣的。
S1. Particularly interesting for researchers in physics is the new feature, named X, for calculat-ing velocity.
S2. Physics now has a new feature, named X, for calculating velocity.
S3. Velocity can now be calculated with a new feature, named X, which is particularly interest -ing for physicists.
S4. X is a new feature for calculating velocity. It is particularly interesting for physicists.
4 选择使句子简洁的主语
这个存在悖论，万一S1开头是想强调的呢，但是S2的句子又是更短的。所以这就是有的人喜欢用we开头（简洁），有人喜欢用被动语态（强调）的原因。
S1. The most significant values are highlighted in Table 1.
S2. Table 1 highlights the most significant values.
5. 少用 It
It的使用会使得主语出现的更晚，所以一般可以用情态动词代替。
It is probable that this is due to poor performance. --- This can be due to poor performance.
It is possible do this with the new system.---- This may / might / could be done with the new system.
It is mandatory to use the new version. ----The new version must be used.
