无论纪律如何，最常见的社论克制之一是“这需要更严格”。这通常意味着太多的文字和想法混杂在一起，并且基本要点晦涩难懂。文笔不简洁。但是，提高简洁性很困难，因为这个问题是由许多容易被忽视的因素引起的，尤其是早期职业研究人员。在这里，我描述了简洁写作的含义，并概述了 10 条规则，并附有示例，以帮助科学家们收紧他们的散文。
One of the most common editorial refrains, regardless of discipline, is “this needs to be tighter.” It typically means too many words and ideas are jumbled together and the underlying point is obscure. The writing is not concise. But, improving conciseness is difficult because the problem is caused by a host of factors that are easily overlooked, especially by early career researchers. Here, I describe what it means to write concisely and outline 10 rules, with examples, to help scientists tighten their prose.
