How to Write Papers So People Can Read Them
summary
A concrete checklist of writing moves: state the CGI (context–gap–innovation) trio in the abstract/intro, introduce essential notation just in time, give a multi-page key ideas section that uses whiteboard-style examples, and push detailed comparisons to related work at the end. The claim is that these checkable principles map to how readers process information; advice is validated by contrasting common abstracts (e.g., DRF CAML example) and by practice, not by vague platitudes.
