These months are marking the end of my experience as a Section Editor for the @ASCEpublishing @ASCE_EWRI Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management. Here's a list of common issues I found in the papers I handled during the past years:

But these two are different in form and function.
1. Difference in FORM
When BEING is used, it is preceded by any of ‘am’, ‘is’ ‘are’, ‘was’, ‘were’ and succeeded by the past participle of the verb (EATEN & SPOKEN are the past participle forms of EAT and SPEAK)
