Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Instead of using "incorporated upon", opt for more standard and clear alternatives such as "incorporated into" or "integrated with" to ensure your writing is easily understood and grammatically correct.
Common error
A common mistake is using "upon" where "into" is grammatically correct. Remember that "upon" often indicates a condition or timing, while "into" signifies inclusion or transformation within something. Therefore, always double-check if "into" fits better semantically.
