Removing Redundancies from Scholarly Writing: A guide to writing better journal articles, dissertations, and theses

Everything you need to identify and remove redundancies from scholarly writing.

Scholarly writing is difficult because few graduate programs include formal instruction on how to expose research through writing. In addition, most students and researchers read scholarly works for content, not structure, grammar, and exposition. The result is scholarly authors who are surrounded by the writing they wish to emulate, but who do not know how to recognize and apply the principles of scholarly writing. This book provides:

• an overview of writing found in journal articles, dissertations, and theses;
• a discussion of redundancies found in all types of prose, including scholarly writing;
• multiple ways to learn to accommodate learning styles;
• 300 examples of the most common redundancies that appear in scholarly writing.

Both practical and transformative, Removing Redundancies from Scholarly Writing teaches researchers how to produce journal articles, dissertations, and theses that are concise, clear, accurate, and reliable-the hallmarks of scholarly writing. Every researcher from student to veteran author will benefit from the approach to removing redundancies this book offers.
