有时候论文写太长,超过了期刊常规论文的篇幅,超过的页面需要收取版面费,对于银行存款从来没有超过三位数的穷博士生来说,缴纳版面费不得肉痛才怪。
所以,SCI初稿保持简洁很重要。
以下是3条保持SCI初稿简洁的技巧(修改稿也用得着):
1) 注意以“there is a previous study on,” “it has been reported that,”开头的句子或类似的短语。这类句子应附有参考引文,这使得上述短语显得多余。这些短语可都以删除,只留下引文。
例如:
原文为: It has been reported that the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease increases with age (Rogue et al., 2004). (17 words)
可以修改为: It has been reported that The incidence of Alzheimer’s disease increases with age (Rogue et al., 2004). (12 words)
2) 把一些产品名称移到括号,通过省去介词来缩短句子。
例如:
原文为: The samples were analyzed on the ABC spectrophotometer (Zhejiang Scientific, Zhejiang, China) to determine the xyz values. (17 words)
可以修改为: The samples were analyzed on the ABC spectrophotometer to determine the xyz values (ABC spectrometer; Zhejiang Scientific, Zhejiang, China). (15 words)
3) 去名词化,也就是说,使用名词形式而不是动词形式,是导致句子冗长的一个重要因素,所以要注意这些。在下面的例子中,用“diagnosed”代替“diagnosis”可以缩短句子。
例如:
原文为: A diagnosis of cancer was made on the basis of the findings. (12 words)
可以修改为:A diagnosis of Cancer was diagnosed made on the basis of the findings. (9 words)
