Coping with Isolation and Creating Connections
The COVID-19 pandemic has created a unique situation, and social distancing has encouraged isolation and seclusion.

AJE's Free Grammar Check for Scientists and Academics
Do not let grammar be a deciding factor in manuscript rejections. AJE’s free grammar check helps you assess whether or not your paper could benefit from revisions.
Use an Appendix or Annex in Your Research Paper?
The terms “appendix” and “annex” are commonly confused in research papers. While the use of an appendix is more common, the annex can also be a valuable way of supplementing your research.
Implications or Recommendations in Research: What’s the Difference?
High-quality research articles that get many citations contain both implications and recommendations. Implications are the impact your research makes, whereas recommendations are specific actions that can then be taken based on your findings, such as for more research or for policymaking.
How to Write Scientific Names of Plants and Animals
Scientific names, or taxonomic names, are the unique nomenclature used in biology to refer to specific species. The purpose of these names is to standardize species names across regions, languages, and cultures to avoid confusion and ambiguity.
How to Write the Rationale for a Research Paper
The rationale for your research is the reason why you decided to conduct the study in the first place. The motivation for asking the question. The knowledge gap. This is often the most significant part of your publication. It justifies the study’s purpose, novelty, and significance for science or society....
What are Analytical Study Designs?
A study design is critical to your research study because it determines exactly how you will collect and analyze your data. If your study aims to study the relationship between two variables, then an analytical study design is the right choice.
Scope and Delimitations in Research
All scientific research has boundaries, whether or not the authors clearly explain them. Your study’s scope and delimitations are the sections where you define the broader parameters and boundaries of your research. The scope details what your study will explore, such as the target population, extent, or study duration. Delimitations...
Questionable Research Practices (and research misbehaviors)
Questionable research practices (QRPs) and research misbehavior are activities that are not transparent, ethical, or fair and thus threaten scientific integrity and the publishing process. However, the fact QRPs are hard to identify and define – and sometimes easy to get away with – makes them “questionable” rather than technically...
Ghost Authorship, Gift Authorship, Guest Authorship – 3 Practices to Avoid
Ghost authorship is when someone who substantially contributed to a study is left out of the author list. Gift authorship and guest authorship are when someone who doesn’t qualify as an author is still given credit for being one. These situations are unethical (they’re questionable research practices, QRPs). You might...
