英文论文写作过程中，往往会遇到不同英文单词都可以表达同一个中文意思，但根据其词性以及本身含义，在英语中所表达的含义不尽相同，LetPub结合多年服务于英文科技论文的编辑经验，搜集了一些中国作者在英文写作中经常出现的错误，列出最常见的“研究”一词来举例，希望对您有所帮助。

Research vs study

Some authors say "research" when they mean "study." "Research," as a verb, means "to perform a study or studies," but "research" as a noun refers to the sum of many studies. "Chemical research" means the sum of all chemical studies. If you find yourself writing "a research" or "in this research," change it to "a study" or "in this study."
