publications - Is poor English grammar and writing style overlooked in otherwise strong math paper submissions?


Is poor English grammar and writing style overlooked by peer reviewers and editors in otherwise strong math paper submissions?



Answer



Short answer: no


Longer answer: The purpose of the article is to communicate something. If poor grammar and style gets in the way of that goal, then that is something that needs to be addressed before the article can be published. If the paper is indeed strong, then that will typically mean you will get a "revise and resubmit" rather than an outright "reject".
