The Academic Phrasebank is a general resource/data base for academic writers. It aims to provide you with examples of some of the phraseological ‘nuts and bolts’ of writing organised according to the main sections of a research paper or dissertation. Other phrases are listed under the more general communicative functions of academic writing. The resource should be particularly useful for writers who need to report their research work. It contains more than 3,000 phrases harvested from papers across different fields, which can serve as common structural elements in academic writing. Registration not required.
