10 Scientific Writing Mistakes that Reveal You Are a Novice (or Careless)
In a previous video, I covered major writing mistakes that might get your paper rejected. In this video, I focus on minor writing errors that tell the editor and reviewers that you are an amateur or a careless writer. Some examples: Inappropriate use of past, present, or future tense. Overly verbose or flowery language. Exclusive use of passive voice. Multiple-word nouns and stacked modifiers. Failure to carefully proofread or format the paper correctly. Some of these mistakes many of you probably already know. But not everyone, which is why I’m going through them.
