Trends Ecol Evol. 2024 Feb 22:S0169-5347(24)00033-8. doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2024.01.008. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAcademic writing is difficult, especially for non-native English speakers.

These points can help struggling writers identify issues and, importantly, internalise good writing practices.PMID:38395671 | DOI:10.1016/j.tree.2024.01.008
