How to Avoid Rejections Due to Language Mistakes

Session Agenda

Desk rejection due to poor language is a critical impediment to successful publication in established journals. Authors must ensure that each section of their manuscript has excellent readability and clarity with minimum or no inconsistency. To simplify the manuscript preparation process, Enago in collaboration with the German Scholars Organisation—an independent non-profit organization empowering researchers for more than 17 years—conducted an insightful webinar. The session focused on sharing practical tips with researchers to improve their academic writing skills and help them understand the importance of editing and proofreading before submission. Further, Dr. Anne Schreiter (Executive Director, German Scholars Organization) explained how researchers can build a prolific career in Germany.

• Overview of common language and grammar mistakes made by ESL researchers
