You have the top-notch ideas but your command of the written English is limited. You can speak in English and understand the language, but you cannot even spell 75 percent of what you say. Your grammar construction is, almost always, something to jeer about. Nevertheless, you possess the academic degree and the know-how you insanely desire to share with your intellectual peers through published scientific papers. Would you ever let a lexical deficiency hinder your rise to the top of the scholastic ladder?

No way – says few of the people I know. I personally know a research scientist whose first language is not English, whose sub-par writing skills could easily send peers to frown, if not, jerk. But he manages to impress people with good write-ups and well-written documents. The key is to be smart — let others do the writing or the editing (read: flipping it 75%, recall that you cannot even spell 75% of your words) for you! Hire or pay for an academic ghostwriter for your scientific papers. Or get it for free by befriending the better-schooled American writers. Or could also be any person whose English skills are par excellence, someone who could spell receive with “e after c” and not “i after c”. A ghostwriter could edit and refine your rough draft or even create an article from start to finish based on your basic idea.
