Language style

First, the style of a scientific text should be fluent and clear. If possible, try to use emotionally neutral language and avoid non-standard words. High-quality professional text must be coherent: Each sentence should be semantically linked to the previous one while anticipating the next one. The same principle applies to paragraphs and whole chapters. All text layers must function in accord with the book topic. The author should avoid thematic digressions at all costs, no matter how interesting they may seem: Such digressions tend to tire the reader rather than enrich their experience.

An abundance of parentheses, brackets, and passive constructions is also not desirable. Do not use exclamation marks and ironic postscripts. Before you begin, decide about the author voice (singular: “as I show”, plural: “as we show”, or implicit: “as shown”) and keep this style throughout the whole book.
