Quick Takeaways:
The English language has a rich history of borrowing words from other languages, especially from Latin. Latin abbreviations such as ‘a.m.’, ‘p.m.’ and ‘CV’ have become part of our everyday vocabulary. Such abbreviations are also frequently used in academic writing, from the ‘Ph.D.’ in the affiliation section to the ‘i.e.’, ‘e.g.’, ‘et al.’, and ‘QED’ in the rest of the paper.
This guide explains when and how to correctly use ‘et al.’ in a research paper.
如果您是一名研究人員,您不僅須要掌握執行、展示和報告研究的技能,而且您還必須知道如何爭取研究經費以資助您未來的科研項目。如果您是一名初入門檻並准備在您選擇的研究領域內立足的研究人員,那麼學習如何申請和贏得研究資助就顯得尤為重要。本指南概述了您在編寫研究資助申請時需要考慮的關鍵概念和步驟。
要留意的是撰寫研究資助申請基於說服性寫作,與撰寫研究論文章有很大出入。它需要在滿足資助者要求的同時,亦包含邏輯論證、對讀者的價值觀和信念的理解、仔細預測和自我營銷。本文解釋了申請研究資助時要考慮的八對和說服力有關的Ps:
下文的一般建議適用於任何學術研究資助申請。為了更具體解釋現實中的研究資助申請,文中將引用香港政府以年度研究資助委員會 (Research Grants Council)的優配研究金 (General Research Fund, GRF) 形式為本地大學提供的競爭性研究資助。而香港的青年學者可選擇僅與其他青年學者角逐另一項名為傑出青年學者計劃 (Early-Career Scheme, ECS) 的平行資助計劃。
Our latest online workshop built on the success of face-to-face workshops we developed specifically for local universities. Over 30 faculty members joined the session, presented by our Chief Operating Officer, Mr Nick Case, to learn from our case studies on editing research proposals.
The response to our workshop, which included a constructive and insightful Q&A session, was very positive.Drawing on our extensive experience working with hundreds of Hong Kong researchers targeting the GRF and ECS every year, we used examples of poor and subsequently improved proposals to show the attendees how they can make their applications stand out.
Wondering why some abbreviations such as ‘et al.’ and ‘e.g.’ use periods, whereas others such as CV and AD don’t? Periods are typically used if the abbreviations include lowercase or mixed-case letters. They’re usually not used with abbreviations containing only uppercase letters.
