Academic Phrasebank是曼彻斯特大学 John Morley博士创建的学术短语库网站。它旨在提供一些根据研究论文或论文的主要部分进行组织的一些措辞“基本要点”的示例，通俗点说就是所有短语及句型皆来源于英语母语者的学术论文，为非英语母语的广大教师、学生、研究者设计以便进行学术论文写作时参考。

网站主要从Introducing Work、Referring to Sources、Describing Methods、Discussing Findings、Reporting Results、Writing Conclusions六大部分提供丰富的学术写作短语及句型。此外，一些常规语言表达也进行详实的举例。

Academic Phrasebank网站对于需要报告其研究工作的研究者提供巨大帮助。短语及列出的标题可用于帮助大家思考自己写作的内容和架构，或者这些短语可以在适当的时候被纳入自己的写作中。在大多数情况下使用一个短语时，要在一定程度上进行灵活创造和适应。因此你可以在网站上找到含有具体内容短语的替换词。

注意：Academic Phrasebank中的项目大多内容中立，且来自于英语母语者的学术论文，因此在使用其中的内容时，并不是窃取别人的想法，也同样不构成剽窃。
