Dear RG colleagues, I thank you in advance any suggestions to improve in academic writing.
Do you also find difficult to write about technical & scientific issues?
Do you believe that the practice of academic writing is always welcomed to express ideas and concepts in technical & scientific papers correctly, concisely and clearly?
Dear Luis,
I agree with you. Practice of academic writing helps to express our ideas and concepts in technical & scientific papers correctly, concisely and clearly. This is reflected in our own publications, if we compare the initial publication with those published after long years of experience. In the initial stages I feel that the authors should have a clear concept of the topic on which one is going to contribute. The MS can be improved by repeated drafting and taking help from experienced researchers.
With best wishes,
Subir.
Academic writing can be improved by constant reading, writing and re-writing. The research and academic community always welcome ideas and concepts in all disciplines that are put into writings and our profession tells us that such writings should be correct, concise and clear.
How to improve in academic writing?
I find that I'd improved a lot in my academic writing by adhering to the following 10 points which are extracted from an answer in the following RG link:

work, work, work.
(that is my answer for improvement in any academic and scientific sector...)
I agree keep writing and keep working at it I found that writing was not my strong point when I was a student. I could excel at exams but my final year had no exams it was all academic essays, personal reflections and reports so I kept working and thankfully while I may not be strong at writing academically my lecturers could see my points of argument and persuasion in my work. I done reasonably well but I could do better with as Maria says work work work.
I woul also add as a suggestion: find someone trustworthy and with whom you feel comfortable that can give you some feedback on what you have written. It is of great help.

Dear Han Ping Fung, Maria Bettencourt Pires, Georgina Boyd and Sandra Moreira:
Thank you for your suggestions,
Above all it must be something to write about.
Worst start: I have to write an article, but about what?
And then see Maria :-)
