Problem: „.In order to make the material easier to digest for the reader.“
Solution: Make it less mathematical, case in point:

  • Eq. (3) is it necessary for what comes next? Reducing all mathematical notation makes it more readable for those not used to read mathematics, especially if it is not called for.
  • Eq. (6) needs to be there, but then Eq. (7) needs to be better phrased what it represents, what is this new (tilde) s? Moreover, new symbol in Eq. (8) that has not been mentioned before nor after.

OK, conclusion:

  • Delete all unnecessary mathematics that does not help explain the main ideas of the paper and are superfluous. For example in equation (19) you don’t really need also the inner product? And equations (17) to (18) will be difficult for the readers and then the text should help the reader understand the equation, in some cases you may need to give a short example.
  • Whenever you do introduce new mathematical equation make sure you explain them properly in words and describe all new symbols introduced.
  • REDUCE mathematical expressions as much as possible and think can I describe this in words and get away with it, is this equation really necessary for the reader to be able to reproduce and understand what we have done?!

Once you have done this we can say that “we have made the paper more readable by reducing mathematical notation and describing more thoroughly in the main text the equations, symbols, and pseudocodes”.
