We, the authors, have been in the grateful position of being able to support numerous doctoral students in their attempts to publish a scientific journal article. Through this experience, we have been able to deepen our own knowledge of how to write a scientific article. We would like to thank all the doctoral students we have guided for the chance to share in their learning. We would also like to thank Dr Harry Anttila, the Director of the Language Centre of the University of Oulu, for constructive cooperation. We would especially like to thank the Language Centre Working.
