Writing Tip

 

ESL authors who want good relationships with coauthors use technical editors before forwarding their papers to them for content editing. 

 

Few co-authors have time to teach you how to improve your writing. While they may correct language errors, you may not understand their reasoning and think it's a matter of personal style.

 

The solution is to have your draft edited by a technical editor, who will explain recommended changes to you, before you complete and give your final draft to your coauthors for content editing.
