Writing clearly

The goal is clarity - is your meaning clear?
Communicating complex ideas does not require complex writing. Good academic writing is:
Coherent
There is a clear sense of unity
Cohesive
The ideas flow
Concise
It gets straight to the point
The result is clear writing which the reader can easily understand.
