由胡友珍、何小平和王志芳编著的《英语学术论文写作教程》以教育部颁布的《非英语专业研究生英语教学大纲》为依据，根据我国和我校博士研究生教学的实际情况和国家对21世纪高级技术和管理人才的要求进行编写。

考虑到目前我国研究生层次多、专业杂，其入学英语水平参差不齐，教材要求以不同水平为起点，因此，本书编写力求满足新世纪对高级人才的期望，培养研究生扎实的语言技能，更注重其全面的应用能力，力求将语言教育和素质教育融为一体。

《英语学术论文写作教程》共分八章：英语学术研究和学术写作概要、英语学术写作风格与特点、英语学术写作相关技术和技巧、英语学术写作与网络资源、英语学术论文的写作过程、英语学术论文中文献与引用、英语学术论文中图表、英语学术论文发表。

《英语学术论文写作教程》既可以作为本科高年级学生、硕士生、博士生撰写学期论文和学位论文、发表学术论文的实用教材，也可以为从事高级英语写作、英语论文写作、学术英语写作的一线教师服务。还可以满足科研工作者撰写各类研究报告和科研论文的需要。
