How To Write Papers So People Can Read Them
summary
Prescribes concrete, checkable rules: start sentences with old to new information and give each paragraph one paragraph one point so readers never lose the thread; write CGI abstracts (Context, Gap, Innovation) and a top‑down, layered key‑ideas section with concrete examples. Implements this on a relaxed‑memory semantics built around “promises,” using a simplified first layer then incremental detail so reviewers can follow — outcome: clearer papers and successful acceptance. Put detailed related work and long proofs in appendices or artifacts when space is tight.
