    The Only Academic Phrasebook You'll Ever Need is a short, no-nonsense, reader-friendly bank of academic sentence templates. It was written for both graduate and undergraduate students who know the basics of academic writing but may still struggle to express their ideas using the right words.

    The Only Academic Phrasebook You'll Ever Need contains 600 sentence frames organized around the typical sections of an academic paper. For example:

    1. Establishing a research territory: The last few years have seen an increased interest in ____.
    2. Describing research gaps: To date, no study has looked specifically at ____.
    3. Stating your aims: The aim of this study is to discuss the extent to which ____.
    4. Describing the scope and organization of your paper: In chapter ____ , the concept of ____ is further explored.
    5. General literature review: A number of scholars have attempted to identify ____.
    6. Referencing: In his 1999 study, Smith argued that ____.
    7. Sampling and data collection: Participants were randomly selected based on ____.
    8. Data analysis and discussion: The data provide preliminary evidence that ____.

    It also includes dozens of language tips, useful to both native and non-native speakers. You will learn, for example, the difference between "imply" and "infer", find out why it is wrong to say "criteria is" and explore different uses of the word "underlying."

    The Only Academic Phrasebook You'll Ever Need is NOT a comprehensive academic writing textbook. It will NOT teach you key skills such as choosing the right research question, writing clear paragraphs, dealing with counter arguments and so on.

    But it will help you find the best way to say what you want to say so you can ace that paper!

      The structure of the book is not helpful for searching the correct phrase. An e-book could have more sophisticated ways to search a fitting expression.
