Annotation: The low level of literacy among students, postgraduate students, and university staff in Uzbekistan has resulted in infelicities of style in scientific papers and abstracts. These infelicities can lead to manuscript rejection for publication in international journals. The author of this article aims to improve the readability of abstracts and scientific papers written by university staff members from technical and natural sciences departments. Sentence and text readability are determined not only by the number of words but also by the sentence structure, grammar, and lexical structure. The differences in scientific discourse between Russian and English languages cause infelicities of style. These include nominalization, complex sentence structure, and the wide use of Passive Voice in English sentences.

Keywords: Bilingual education, genitive case, abstract, main text.
