I have been studying and working in U.S. for more than 35 years. Frequently， my friends in China have asked me to edit their manuscripts. It was these requests that prompted me to study scientific writing in more depth and to look into what was necessary for Chinese scientists to prepare their own manuscripts in professional English. It took me a long time to improve my own English writing skills， even though I had a very high TOEFL score when I was applying US universities. My initial training was from my postdoctoral advisor at MIT， the editor-in-chief of a renowned biology journal as well as the author of several textbooks. By studying his revisions of my own manuscripts， my scientific writing skills improved greatly.
English writing， like many other skills， is mastered by both learning and practice. I further improved my skills by reading many scientific writing books and journal articles， while always paying special attention to the writing. Editing manuscripts of fellow Chinese scientists and identifying the common mistakes provided me additional insight. I published a book《Guide for Scientific Writing》by Shandong University Press Co. in 2004 to summarize the key areas that I believe are essential for Chinese scientists to improve their scientific writing skills. To meet the requests for manuscript editing， I built a team of editors in the U.S. to offer editing service in 2006 (www.sciwriting.cn). We have edited more than 15000 manuscripts so far. Enriched by the editing experience and authors’ feedback， I have revised the book and published the 2nd edition in 2016. In this 3rd edition， a new chapter on “Manuscript Submission， Revision， and Response Letter Writing” is added. The section on how to avoid writing “Chinese English” is expanded， and more Chinese translations are provided for easier reading.
There are several obstacles Chinese scientists have to overcome. The first and most difficult one is the proper selection and usage of words. The poor writing of non-English speaking scientists can often be improved by developing knowledge of the subtle differences in the accurate use of words. Simple words are overused， and in many cases， the wrong words are used instead. The second obstacle is grammar and sentence flow. Scientific writing should meet the same standards for grammar as general writing while accommodating for the additional rules of scientific writing. The sentence flow， which can be improved by the correct usage of connecting words， is critical for readers to understand the authors. The third obstacle is Chinese- English：English written as if literally translated from Chinese， including inappropriate expressions and improper grammar. While the author might not realize， a native speaker can notice it right away.
Writing a publishable manuscript is a difficult task: one which requires hard work and persistence. A manuscript written in proper English is the prerequisite for its acceptance for publication; however， the most critical criterion is still the contents of the manuscript， especially the novelty of your research finding. To write clearly the purpose of your study， what questions you want to answer or hypothesis to demonstrate， and the differences from the previous reports are the core of the paper. Without a proper understanding of the requirements for a publishable manuscript in SCI journals and the up-to-date knowledge of the literature in your research field， even the best writer still cannot publish a scientific paper. It takes a long time， the proper language environment， and tremendous efforts to master the skills of English writing; it seems to me it is a better way for scientists to focus on their science and ask professional editors to help with their English writing. It is a well-accepted practice in English-speaking countries to have professional editors to edit a manuscript or grant proposal. It is this need for English editors that is driving me to sharpen my own English writing skills， train other interested individuals， and provide professional service for the needed scientists.
I sincerely appreciate the encouragement and support received from readers and fellow scientists.
