Good writing takes time, but in a research environment where speed is master, is it a superfluous pursuit? Scientists spend most of their working life writing, yet our writing style obstructs its key purpose: communication. We advocate more accessible prose that boosts the influence of our publications. For those who change, the proof of their success will be science that is read, understood, and remembered.
好的写作需要时间，但在以速度为主导的研究环境中，这是否是一种多余的追求？科学家们一生中大部分时间都在写作，但我们的写作风格阻碍了它的主要目的：交流。我们提倡更易读的散文，以提高我们出版物的影响力。对于那些改变的人来说，他们成功的证明将是被阅读、理解和记住的科学。
