Conseils et astuces (4)

🎯

The 'Av' Rule

If you have too many 'av' in a row, try to turn one into a compound noun. Instead of 'analysen av tillväxten av cellerna', use 'celltillväxtanalysen'.

🎯

The 'Red Thread' Check

After writing, read only your research questions and your conclusion. If they don't match perfectly, your 'red thread' is broken.

🎯

The 'Av' Test

If your sentence has more than three 'av' (of) in a row, it's too heavy. Break it up or use a possessive form (e.g., 'Forskarnas analys' instead of 'Analysen av forskarna').

Questions fréquentes (6)

In some fields (like social sciences), 'jag' is becoming more common in the introduction, but the 'Method' and 'Results' sections should almost always be passive.
They both mean 'however'. 'Emellertid' is slightly more formal and often placed after the verb, while 'dock' is more flexible.
It stands for Inledning (Introduction), Metod (Method), Resultat (Results), and Diskussion (Discussion).
It depends on the field, but generally, it's safer to use the passive voice or denna studie. In qualitative research, 'jag' is more common.
Not always. While it adds precision, too much of it makes text hard to read. Aim for a balance where key concepts are nouns but the flow remains clear.
It depends on the field. In social sciences, 'jag' is becoming more common, but in natural sciences, the s-passive and nominalization are still the gold standard.
