6
+
7
+ It is not the file for essays or talks ([`essays.md`](./essays.md)),
8
+ filings ([`civic.md`](./civic.md)), or product pages. Reference docs
9
+ and textbooks that are really manuals still get core only.
10
+
11
+ The colleague voice is close. Precision and citations are the shift.
12
+ Do not put on the academic costume.
13
+
14
+ ---
15
+
16
+ ## Register
17
+
18
+ Write for a peer who already knows the field. Say what you did, what
19
+ you found, and where the claim stops. Full forms more often than the
20
+ default. Contractions are rare, not banned. One is not a finding.
21
+
22
+ First person is allowed when the field or the overlay uses it ("we
23
+ measured," "I argue"). Passive is not required. Do not convert every
24
+ sentence to "it was found that."
25
+
26
+ Hedging is earned when it names a limit, a method bound, or a claim
27
+ the data cannot support. "In this sample," "we did not observe,"
28
+ "suggests" stay when they are true. "It could perhaps be argued that"
29
+ is hiding.
30
+
31
+ The read-aloud test is a careful colleague in the field, not a tired
32
+ product person and not a quarterly from 1987.
33
+
34
+ Pronouns follow the overlay or the journal. Do not invent "the authors"
35
+ to sound impersonal if the venue uses we.
36
+
37
+ Hard bans still hold. Insight theater does not become allowed because
38
+ the bibliography is long. Earn the word: "robust," "novel," and
39
+ "seminal" need a measurement, a contrast, or a cite that actually
40
+ carries that weight.
41
+
42
+ ---
43
+
44
+ ## What earns its place
45
+
46
+ - Citations, operational definitions, method, limitations
47
+ - Field terms of art (applicability heuristic)
48
+ - The journal's sections (IMRaD or whatever they print)
49
+ - An abstract that states the finding, not a teaser
50
+
51
+ Repeating a defined term is not hand-holding. Numbered hypotheses and
52
+ result rows are not triad packing.
53
+
54
+ ---
55
+
56
+ ## The costume (do not reach for it)
57
+
58
+ These are the stereotypical academic tells. Ban them as furniture.
59
+ Leave a word if it is doing a real job in the sentence.
60
+
61
+ - "Moreover," "Thus," "Furthermore," "Indeed" opening clause after
62
+ clause
63
+ - "This paper seeks to" / "this study aims to" / "the present work"
64
+ - "It has been shown that" with no cite, or with a cite that does not
65
+ show it
66
+ - "The extant literature," "a growing body of work," "little attention
67
+ has been paid"
68
+ - "It is worth noting that" / "it is important to note"
69
+ - Nominalization stacks ("the utilization of the implementation")
70
+ - Forced passive when the actor is known and the field allows we
71
+ - A literature review that only announces a gap
72
+ - A last sentence that winks or mic-drops
73
+
74
+ Do not inject an essay scene to "humanize" the paper. A worked example
75
+ or a named dataset is an instance, not a memoir. Do not apply essay
76
+ law here.
77
+
78
+ Do not apply civic captions or landing pain lists.
79
+
80
+ ---
81
+
82
+ ## Claims
83
+
84
+ This genre lives on citations. Run [`claims.md`](./claims.md) when the
85
+ paper asserts effects, magnitudes, or what prior work showed.
86
+
87
+ A clean-smelling wrong paper is still wrong. Do not cologne a missing
88
+ cite or an overclaim in the abstract.
89
+
90
+ ---
91
+
92
+ ## Audit extras for this genre
93
+
94
+ On top of `core.md` and `audit.md`:
95
+
96
+ - Costume density (Moreover / Thus / seeks to / extant literature)
97
+ - Hedging that hides a claim instead of naming a limit
98
+ - Forced impersonal voice against the overlay or the venue
99
+ - Abstract that teases and never states the finding
100
+ - Essay anecdote or landing structure
101
+ - A claim that needs a cite and has none
102
+
103
+ ---
104
+
105
+ ## Acceptance criteria
106
+
107
+ 1. Overlay or venue named the speaker (we, I, or the paper's convention).
108
+ 2. Abstract states the finding.
109
+ 3. Hedging names a limit or is cut.
110
+ 4. No costume furniture in the open or the close.
111
+ 5. Claims that need cites have them, or `claims.md` already flagged
112

63
+ - "Hereby," "aforementioned," "herein" added as furniture. If the form
64

65
+ - Launch energy: "excited to comment," "pleased to share our views"
66
+ - Colleague contractions in the caption, the summary of request, or
67
+ the prayer for relief
68
+ - Mic-drop closers and punchy hooks. Close on the request.
