This book is designed to enable non-native English speakers to write science research for publication in English. It can also be used by English speakers and is a practical, user-friendly book intended as a fast, do-it-yourself guidefor those whose English language proficiency is above intermediate. The approach is based on material developed from teaching graduate students at ImperialCollege London and has been extensively piloted.
