The format of the paper in the application for Natural Science Foundation is wrong. Will it be revoked?
The format of the paper in the application for Natural Science Foundation is wrong, and it will be revoked. According to relevant public information, the National Natural Science Foundation is the only scientific research project (plan) in China that can provide large-scale feedback on peer review opinions. This practice, on the one hand, is a concrete manifestation of the openness, fairness and impartiality of the projects of the National Natural Science Foundation. Typos, English grammatical errors, improper use of technical terms, confusion in language expression, and imprecise expression. The format is not standardized, for example, citations are not marked as required, and the names of foreign periodicals are not italicized. These questions are all mentioned in the comments. The reason for this kind of problem is that the applicant does not pay enough attention to the writing of the application. Experts believe that such problems reflect that the applicant's attitude towards scientific research is not rigorous enough. If the project is handed over to the applicant, the data and conclusions from the later experiments are hard to convince, which will waste taxpayers' money.
