Carsten Weerth nailed it. I work with multi- and transdisciplinary projects. Our teams need to have a smooth and efficient communication.

Balance and some empathy towards the reader improves readability. Writing a sentence that requires 10 lines and needs to be split in several pieces can be frustrating for the reader. Particularly, when the idea can be rephrased in a simple way. Verborragic paragraphs need to be used with care. They can tire the reader.

thank you for your answer Martin Klvana :)

There is an unwritten rule to keep sentences short and to minimize run on words. This comes from English composition writing practices and has moved on to the field of technical publication as well. It is all the more important these days with electronic media and younger audience who do not have a lot of patience and thus to get the message across shorter sentences are preferred

If your sentence structure makes it difficult to understand your conclusions or any other aspects of your work it will make it less desirable to publish.

Srini Vasan then researchers in humanitieshumanités became called to write their researchesresearchers humanless ? Artless ? Just by automatising their research !

Thank you for your answer

Rick Manner many of researchers in the humanities fields have been studying litterature axis during their whole curriculum, then got the fluent writing as a habitude, why should they follow the models of the exact sciences to write in humanities ?

Thank you for your answer

Every researcher, professor viewpoint in this discussion would be almost welcome ☺️

Lack clarity

In Germany many researchers that publish in the German language tend to build complex sentences with many learned words (keywords for their knowledgability and superiosity); a nasty trait that is pseudo-scholarship in reality.

I keep it with Einstein:

Truely great minds can explain the most complex issues in simple sentences...

Long sentences are not preferred, for they tend to confuse the general reader.

Because long and complex sentences are difficult to understand for the general public

But a research is almost read by researchers, for general readers later it would be simplified by blogguers in e. news and journals

Dear Frr Frr ,

So far, I know that science does not give importance to a long and rich constructed sentences. The most important thing of science is the observation and experiments as we all know and still learning about the proper definition of science. Yes, communication gives more importance to a long and rich constructed sentences but there are certain constraints of the scientific articles like maximum word limit. That's why keywords have been generated so that the number of important words can be highlighted and the rest can be search from any literature. Now, the question arises about limitation of words in a scientific journal. This is because it is not a single chapter of book where we can have lot of things; rather it is a compilation of lots of research articles that have to be published so that it must reach to the readers and for publication; we all know that cost matters.

Regards,

Longjam

There is, of course, the possibility for the author to be also the editor and publisher . . . in which case it will be the readers, as it should be, who will decide, individually, for themselves, whether the writing is worth reading or not.

Clarity and relevancy with study object is important in sentences.

From my point of view, in scientific articles, what is important is the fact, nothing else, which is supposed to be presented in simple and understandable sentences, not in long and complex sentences. Literary presentations are not important in scientific language.

It is the same issue in many languages such Arabic

Long and rich sentences are not necessary richer then the shorter ones. They can be just longer and confusing. And I do not believe that the length of sentence is dictated by the discussed topic. One can rearrange the text, at lest partially, independent of the topic. Short and plain sentences allows the writer to elaborate her or his thoughts and the reader their comprehension step by step. Short sentences are more kind to the process of cognition. We understand a sentence as a finished, enclosed thought. If sentence is short, a thought is 'short' (simple) as well. Long and rich sentence provides us with too much information and thought at once, hence the confusion of a thinker. :-)

Scientific Writing should be smooth and vivid to grab reviewer attention.

Sentences clarity and quality are the key elements. Avoid to write complex sentences.

When researchers write smooth, clear and academic writing, their rese will have higher probability to get published.

In scientific academic writing, smooth and clear writing gets more attention of editors and reviewers. Therefore, avoid complex writing.

Tomaž Krpič , Aristotelian style of writing (very complex by today's standards) is both very natural and (for stupid people like me) very challenging (and therefore very enjoyable). Today's prevalent style of scientific writing is extremely boring, dull, and stupefying, and contributes greatly to the overall intellectual degradation of the current era. First and foremost, writers should (1) write in their own voice, (2) never underestimate the reader, and (3) always challenge the reader.

Martin Klvana, I agree with you that most of today scientific works are boring and dull in terms of writing style. But I do not find this problematic. (And I am not sure about this 'intellectual degradation' thing.) For me personally, it is important that scientific works are not boring and dull in their content. And many times they are not. I believe that the politics of writing should not be dictated by anyone. If one decided to be boring in style, it is fine by me. (You must take into account that a lot of researchers writes in language which is not their first language.) Of course I prefer good writing, but I do not like to force people to share my opinion on this. And I think a good writer could benefit in terms of understanding of her or his scientific text, so I would suggest researchers to invest some effort in writing. :-)

Reviewers may face difficulty to understand it. Clarity and smoothness is important.

Clarity is important

Academic writing needs clarity.
