While I aim to be concise, sometimes more words are required to achieve clarity. I’m all for formal writing being as clear and complete as possible, as well as grammatically correct. And we know that, in most cases, if the submitted manuscript is even one word over the maximum allowed length, it is summarily rejected by the journal without consideration. However, even after applying all of these strategies, the paper may still be a bit too long – from just a few words to 100 or more words over the maximum word limit permitted by the journal. In an earlier blog, I described a number of strategies that I routinely apply to reduce the word count of manuscripts.
