英文論文寫作對於英語非母語的使用者是一大挑戰。原因是使用者通常會以自己的第一語言作為參考(First-language-oriented)，就算利用詞典逐字翻譯也無法寫出道地的英文句子，造成寫出來的文章讓外國人一看就知道是台式英文。另一個原因是論文中的用詞往往較嚴謹，非一般寫作常用的字詞，並且和研究領域有一定的關聯，造成這些特定的字詞較不易掌控，讓論文寫作的困難度更勝於一般寫作。
目前市面上的英文寫作軟體大部分只支援簡單的文法校正功能，這樣對非英語為母語的使用者來說效果十分有限。本篇論文提出了一個電腦輔助英文論文寫作的系統，專門幫助中文使用者能順利的完成論文摘要的寫作。我們的系統可以在使用者寫作的過程中給予接續詞、例句、詞彙的中翻英、連接詞的建議；在寫作完成後，系統也有提供文法及搭配詞(Collocation)校正的功能，所以我們的系統最大的特色就是整合了各種可以輔助研究生英文論文寫作的功能。
在最後實驗部分，我們有和別的系統作比較以及找來真正的使用者做測試。比較結果顯示我們的系統能提供更多的接續詞建議給使用者，並且在例句排序上也優於其他也有做例句搜尋的系統。而使用者對於系統提供的建議也能做部分的參考，讓寫作過程更加順利。

Writing of English research papers is a big challenge to EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners. The reason is that users always rely on their native languages, and they can't write native English sentences by the dictionary, as a result it will lead to "Chinglish". In addition, the words in research papers are more formal than general writings, and they are related to the research areas, so it is not easy to make use of these specific words. According to these reasons, writing of English research papers is more difficult than the writing general articles.
Most of English writing systems on the market only support the functionality of the grammar checking, but the help for the EFL learners is very limited. In this paper, we propose a computer-aided system for the writing of English research papers, and it can help Chinese users to write their papers more successfully. Moreover, in the writing process, our system can provide the suggestions of following words, example sentences, word-based translation and translation words to users. At the revision step, we provide the functionalities of the grammar and collocation revision. Therefore, the feature of our system is integrating many kinds of functionalities that can help graduated students to write their papers.
In the experiments, we compare our system with other systems and ask some students to perform the user study. The results show that our system can provide more following words to the users and the ranking of example sentences is better than another system. From the user study, we observe that users can get help from partial suggestions which our system provided, and make their writing process more fluent.
