MONGE-NAJERA, Julián  e  MENDEZ ANCHIA, Silvia. Uso correcto del español en la redacción de artículos biológicos. Rev. biol. trop [online]. 2008, vol.56, n.4, pp.1589-1593. ISSN 0034-7744.

Correct use of Spanish when writing biological papers. We present a list of the most frequent errors in biological manuscripts written in Spanish, and we explain which are the recommended options. Our article is based on the International Codes of Nomenclature, and the guidelines of the Real Academia de la Lengua and the Council of Science Editors. We group the indications in four categories: lexical errors (e.g. English cognates); spelling (graphic accents, punctuation, font), morphology (use of prepositions) and style (linguistic economy). Rev. Biol. Trop. 56 (4): 1589-1593. Epub 2008 December 12.

Palavras-chave : writing in Spanish; correct use of the Spanish language; biology; science; bad translations; technical writing.
