The occurrence of errors in writing skill in English language is a typical issue among the foreign language learners that requires an error analysis in detail. Accordingly, the purpose of present study is to analysis the type of written errors in papers submitted to Nursing and Midwifery Journal of Urmia University of Medical Sciences before conducting any scientific editing. In order to analyze the errors, from among a number of papers submitted to the journal, the English abstract of 50 papers were selected randomly, and the type of written errors were analyzed regarding the frequency and percentage of their occurrence. To analyze the data, SPSS software, version 16 was used. The findings revealed that the ratio of errors in terms of interlanguage interference (first language interference) in the target language (English) was more than the errors in the intralanguage interference (the target language itself), and they were more related to grammatical and lexical errors. The findings showed that first language has a significant effect on the occurrence of written errors in the target language. Therefore, by analyzing the type of errors, and rooting out their causes, we can evaluate the writing proficiency level of the submitters in the target language (English), to prevent the repetition of same written errors in their written materials.
