Authors from different countries have published their papers in English, aiming to promote their research results widely and to become internationally known by their peers. It is also true that, although they are aware of the English terminology used in their respective field, some authors still struggle with some features of academic writing such as collocations. Thus, this paper presents a discussion on the underuse and overuse traces of academic collocations by Brazilian authors who had their articles published in English on an open electronic library of scientific journals. In order to analyse the collocations used by these researchers, we compiled a 906,035-word corpus from eight different academic areas. The collocations observed were statistically compared to those from an academic corpus of English writings which contains texts produced by English-speaking authors. Results showed that there are more collocations underused than overused by the authors. The analysis proved that the collocation repertoire of researchers could be broadened by being pointed out during academic writing workshops. Keywords: academic collocations; research paper writing; corpus linguistics. Resumo: Autores de varios paises tem publicado seus artigos cientificos em ingles com o intuito de promover amplamente os resultados de suas pesquisas dentre a comunidade cientifica internacional. E verdade que, embora estejam cientes da terminologia utilizada no respectivo campo de pesquisa, alguns autores ainda apresentam dificuldade em lidar com certas caracteristicas da escrita academica, como o uso das colocacoes. Este artigo apresenta uma discussao sobre tracos de sobreuso e subuso de colocacoes academicas utilizadas por autores brasileiros que tem seus artigos publicados em ingles numa plataforma eletronica aberta de artigos cientificos. Para analisar as colocacoes utilizadas por estes pesquisadores, compilamos um corpus de 906.000 palavras a partir de oito areas cientificas. As colocacoes analisadas foram comparadas estatisticamente com as colocacoes de um corpus academico de ingles que contem textos escritos por autores anglofonos. Os resultados mostraram que ha mais tracos de subuso que sobreuso de colocacoes academicas utilizadas pelos pesquisadores e este repertorio poderia ser ampliado se fossem destacadas durante cursos de escrita academica em lingua inglesa. Palavras-chave: colocacoes academicas; escrita de artigos cientificos; linguistica de corpus.
