I think the best answer is to improve their English. It is the language of science, scientists
should be at least able to express themselves internationally.

Common. Most of the research is always in English, up to date papers and
researches are in international journals which are all in English.

Miguel LM > Yyc • 8 months ago
Whether we like it or not, English has become the de facto standard language
when writing an essay or a scientific paper for scientific journals and magazines.
So, we have to get used to it and do our best to comply to this trend, knowing
that, if we do not make our best effort to write better, our ideas may be great but
our papers would be just a piece of junk and may never be published. Just
consider that improving your English is part of your work and that you have to
pay as much attention to it as you will have to pay to the final details of your
study.

I agree the universal language for science should be that that most people can
read and understand...English is not the most spoken language in the world by
the way....

You may want to collaborate with someone who speaks English on as many projects as
possible. Have them review your papers prior to submission.

Alice Wang > nima Bakhtiari • a year ago
you can also write your manuscript in simple English, and make sure yourself understand what
you have written...of course let a third person read and understand before you summit is a good
idea.

Aryan Sarmadi > nima Bakhtiari • 9 months ago
Dear Nima
Abstract, introduction (its end), and conclusion are main and significant parts of an article;
therefore, it would be very appropriate to make an attempt to clarify your novelties in these
parts. For example, you could start your abstract with a drawback, limitation, bad issue in a
problem and then describe your methods.
For a more assistance, I am suggesting some excellent books in this field such as:
1. Longman Academic Writing Series 4 and 5
2. Longman Essay Activator: Your Key To Writing Success
With warm regard
Aryan

Noelle Luccioni > nima Bakhtiari • 9 months ago
I would suggest seeking the help of a translator who is strong in English writing conventions. I
recently reviewed a paper with my advisor, and we both felt that the paper lost a lot of
significance due to a clear language barrier. We both suggested that the author consult one
such translator, and resubmit the paper.

One option is to get someone who is proficient in English help review your paper and point out
ways to improve your sentence structure.

The article is very interesting and also very informative. The author has to congratulated for the same.
Not all editors and reviewers adhere to the good philosophy listed. If the article submitted falls in line
with earlier published information/idea by a researcher hailing from more privileged university , then it
finds an immediate review or else rejection stating politely that though it an interesting research work,
but cannot be published in our journal with a rider stating that this rejection should not be a
discouragement to submit articles in future. Other such similar comments are: I regret to inform you that
your manuscript No#### has been denied publication in our Journal. The manuscript is a contribution to
a wellresearched area. Unfortunately, our journal is only able to publish 20% of manuscripts that are
submitted, and submissions like this one that are judged to have limited novelty and significance have
submitted, and submissions like this one that are judged to have limited novelty and significance have
to be declined. Hope the outcome of this specific submission will not discourage you from the
( SEARCH CART MENU
submission of future manuscripts (The irony is that keep publishing articles on same topic submitted by
/
researchers from more privileged universities).These kind of comments are not uncommon for
)
researchers who hail from less previleged universities. Some reviewers go to the extent of returning the
manuscript with very nasty comments and also mentioning that the manuscript does find a reference to
one of the book published by me. So, one should not be deterred by the comments, but should pursue
to find publication in some other journal of repute and also find good acceptance in the form of good
citations. The statements made here by me are my first hand experience.
I am also a reviewer for many top journals in the world including published by Elsevier, Springer, ICE
and many others.
Research is meant for sharing the good findings for progress and utility of society.

anant > Dr Nagaraj H B • a year ago
Very true. Research articles with pioneers as authors get accepted and published within few
weeks while, amateurs get rejected after several months, sometimes even more than a year.
This several months time dampens the sprit of amateur researchers. Really wonder if the
names of authors and addresses were hidden from the editors & reviewers can this ambiguity
can be handled to some extent?

Kasi Viswanathan > anant • a year ago
Early career researcher especially whose native language is not English often being
demotivated. As mentioned sometimes, the comments are just an extreme words from
editor. Well, if they can't afford those papers, polite way of rejecting the papers is
justifiable. Exactly, @anant , your suggestion could be a good idea.

Hello Alison, do you consider plagiarism if some one want to take a chapter of his / her
PhD thesis (the thesis is available online at research gate website) while taking the
majority of the information.

DrBasem Mohamed • 2 years ago
very good article that made me realize the importance of novelty and methods applied. I think that
experimental design that entails every possible testing for the hypothesis under test as well as good
English command can lead any paper to be published with high priority.

Based on the optics of this article, it appears the 8 reasons are 1. be a man 2. middleupper class 3.
earn a set of state sanctioned credentials 4. its best if you are white ...and I think the other 4 reasons
are just a reiteration of the 1st four.
