“…The analysis of our focus‐group discussions, together with the literature, point to at least two reasons for the increasing rates of alleged cases of plagiarism by authors from NNES developing countries: a lack of formal guidance on research integrity, which includes publication ethics, and a lack of training in English writing skills, by which we do not mean linguistic competence based on grammar and syntax, but rather the ability to communicate science and ideas effectively in that language. As some authors have pointed out, although a grammatical knowledge of English is essential, it is not sufficient to enable researchers to write abstracts, research papers or even cover letters effectively (Jordan, 1977; Swales, 1990; Swales & Feak, 1994); rather, this is linked to knowing “the unwritten rules of the game” (Aluisio et al , 2001) of writing science in English. These rules define what makes a piece of writing coherent and what makes a text sound stylistically from an anglophone perspective (Ammon, 2001; Flowerdew, 2008).…”

“…For example, systems providing automatic feedback related to spelling, style, plagiarized sentences, and citations have been developed (e.g., Macdonald et al 1982;Britt et al 2004;Villalón et al 2008). Other studies (e.g., O'Rourke and Calv 2009; Aluisio et al 2001;Shibata and Hori 2002;Feltrim and Teufel 2004;Uto and Ueno 2011) have examined systems visualizing the logical structure of reports and have suggested strategies to improve them. Other systems (e.g., Verheij 2005;Azilawati et al 2009;Uto and Ueno 2015) visualize the argument structure of reports and provide feedback for revision based on the Toulmin model (Toulmin 1958), which is known as a normative model of argumentation.…”

“…No es posible obtener la versión nal en el primer borrador [14], pero un método adecuado reduce el tiempo de elaboración del manuscrito nal. De esta forma, se obtienen escritos mejor estructurados, más lógicos y coherentes; usualmente, los evaluadores interpretan una presentación pobre del manuscrito como una falta de interés o de rigor [15,13], de tal forma que se aumentan las probabilidades de que rechacen la contribución.…”
