Always make a pass on [https://app.grammarly.com/ Grammerly]. | Always make a pass on [https://app.grammarly.com/ Grammerly]. | ||
Common mistakes I make: | |||
* ‘on the other hand’ must follow ‘on one hand’. Otherwise, use ‘however’. | |||
* Don’t use ‘firstly’, ‘secondly’. Use ‘first’, ‘second’. | |||
* Spell out numbers 7 or lower. | |||
* Data is singular and plural. ‘later research’ and ‘Recent work’ should use singular verbs. | |||
* List of adjectives need to be followed by a noun. | |||
** E.g. Existing juice research include: apple-based, orange-based, and pineapple-based juices. | |||
* Minor: | |||
** Be consistent with gaps in cite lists. | |||
** Tilde keeps citations on the same line. | |||
** Avoid orphan lines (last line on another page) if possible. | |||
