Title: Common Errors and Standardization of English Abstracts in Chinese Scientific Journals - A Case Study on English Abstracts of Biomedical Research Papers
Abstract:
In the global academic community, English has become the lingua franca for scientific communication, leading to an increasing number of non-native English speakers submitting research papers to English-language scientific journals. However, language and cultural differences often result in errors and inconsistencies in English abstracts, thereby hindering effective communication and comprehension of research findings. This paper aims to explore the common errors found in English abstracts of Chinese biomedical research papers and provide guidelines for their standardization.
The first common error observed in Chinese biomedical research paper abstracts is the inappropriate utilization of tenses. Non-native English speakers frequently mix past, present, and sometimes, future tenses within a single abstract, leading to confusion and inaccuracies in conveying the research findings. It is essential to use past tense when referring to the study design, methods, and results, while maintaining present tense for established knowledge and present reality.
Another error commonly found in English abstracts is the omission of essential information. Many authors fail to include critical components such as the research objective, methodology, sample size, statistical analyses, and key results. To ensure comprehensive understanding, abstracts should include these elements concisely.
Moreover, inadequate clarity and conciseness are prevalent in abstracts. Sentence structures are often convoluted, leading to confusion and difficulty in extracting the main message. Abstracts should be written in a clear and concise manner, preferably using simple sentence constructions, to facilitate quick comprehension.
Additionally, the lack of standard terminology and abbreviations is a significant area of concern. Authors often use abbreviations without proper definitions or overuse unfamiliar acronyms, creating confusion for readers. It is crucial to define abbreviations on their first usage and limit the use of uncommon acronyms.
Furthermore, abstracts frequently lack contextualization and fail to clearly state the significance and implications of the research findings. Abstracts should provide a concise overview of the research background, study objectives, and a brief discussion of the implications and potential applications of the results.
Based on the identified errors, several recommendations can be made to standardize English abstracts in Chinese biomedical research papers. First and foremost, authors should review and revise their abstracts thoroughly, paying particular attention to proper tense usage, clarity, and conciseness. Additionally, authors should ensure the inclusion of crucial components such as study objectives, research methodology, results, and implications. Standardized terminologies and abbreviations should be utilized consistently throughout the abstract. Collaborative efforts among authors, reviewers, and journal editors are essential to improve the quality of English abstracts in Chinese scientific journals.
In conclusion, the standardization of English abstracts in Chinese biomedical research papers is crucial to enhance global scientific communication and information exchange. By addressing the common errors discussed in this paper and implementing the recommended guidelines, researchers can effectively convey their findings to an international audience and contribute to the advancement of scientific knowledge.
