Online writing lab (owl)
The Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) is an essential platform for academic and professional writing, highly beneficial for students, researchers, and professionals. It provides important guidelines on grammar, sentence structure, word choice, rhetorical style, as well as visual presentation. OWL mainly helps to improve the quality of academic writing, especially for undergraduate and graduate students. Alongside offering instructions on conducting research and using various proper citation styles such as APA, MLA, CHICAGO, IEEE, AMA, ASA, and more, OWL also provides helpful tips to avoid plagiarism, which is crucial for maintaining the originality of writers. OWL also assists with recommendation letters and presentation preparation, and is especially supportive with detailed guidelines related to graduate writing (thesis and dissertation). For subject-specific writing, OWL is useful for professional, technical, social science, engineering, healthcare, journalism, and art history writing as well. Advice is also given for job seekers on preparing cover letters, resumes, and video resumes, making it very useful for job applicants.
Academic phrasebank
Academic Phrasebank is a powerful resource for academic writing, providing examples of essential sentence structures when writing research papers or theses. Published by the University of Manchester, this platform plays a significant role in improving the quality of academic writing. Specific phrases for different sections of a research paper—such as the introduction, methods, results, discussion, etc.—are available here and can be easily used while writing. Since the platform’s phrases are content-neutral and generic, there is no risk of plagiarism from using them. While some phrases mention specific words as examples, users can replace those with terms relevant to their research. Academic Phrasebank is primarily designed for non-native English writers, but native English writers can also find valuable information here.
