I teach several graduate and undergraduate courses on Clear Writing in Science at McGill University in Canada.
Would it be possible to start a dialogue on scientists’ views about the clarity (or lack of clarity) in current scientific articles? I believe that because few researchers take courses on how to write persuasive and clear articles, most manuscripts are unnecessarily convoluted. A blog dedicated to this topic could be instructive.

Kind regards,
