Readability a Must

• If the paper is not readable, author has not given writing sufficient thought

• Two kinds of referees

  • If I cannot understand the paper, it is the writer’s fault
  • If I cannot understand the paper, I cannot reject it

• Don’t take chances. Write the paper well.

• Badly written papers typically do not get read, even if they appear in a good conference
