Use “Plain English”

Abstract

Scientific research is inherently complex and difficult to understand. It talks about highly specialized topics that most people know nothing about and even specialists may not be entirely familiar with. Science involves methods and knowledge that require years of university education to learn. There is no need to make your paper even more complicated and difficult by writing in some obscure pedantic way. Instead, you should make every effort to write as simply as you can, in everyday plain English [1–6, p. 76–78]. Your goal is to make it as easy as possible for your readers to understand what you are saying.
