Hay una herramienta en web que nos puede ayudar a encontrar la palabra adecuada cuando estamos escribiendo un paper en inglés. Podéis encontrarlo en http://netspeak.eu/ y os copio texto de resumen de qué va y algunos ejemplos:

To write in a foreign language is a difficult task, even for an experienced author. Problems include choosing the right word or preposition in a given context, finding a wording which is commonly used, and avoiding the use of grammatical forms which reflect the author's native language. The Netspeak Web service assists authors to overcome these issues by using the World Wide Web as a source of common language. The service can be queried with short text phrases to determine their customariness on the Web. Wildcard characters can be added to the query to search for variations and synonyms of the query phrase, which will be returned as ranked list with respect to their occurence frequency on the Web.

Here are some example queries:
- The query    the ? developments    asks for exactly one word that fits between "the" and "developments".
- The query    looks fine ? me            asks for the preposition to be used in this phrase.
- The query    { for only members }    asks for the word order in which the listed words usually appear.
