+
15
+ Use this file when the user is not just asking for cleaner English, but for better scientific writing logic. This is the layer that should govern all paragraph- and section-level rewriting.
16
+
17
+ ## Core stance
18
+
19
+ Academic polishing is not only about style. It is also about making the reasoning legible. A polished paragraph that still performs the wrong rhetorical job is a failed edit.
20
+
21
+ ## Hourglass structure
22
+
23
+ Most strong research writing follows a `broad -> narrow -> broad` pattern:
24
+
25
+ - `Introduction`: open the territory, narrow to the gap, then state the study
26
+ - `Discussion/Conclusion`: start from the specific findings, then widen to implications and limits
27
+
28
+ Use this pattern when deciding paragraph order and section scope. If a draft jumps between background, results, and implications without control, rebuild the progression first.
29
+
30
+ ## Writing order is not reading order
31
+
32
+ The author may draft in one order and the reader may consume in another. A useful planning sequence is:
33
+
34
+ 1. results
35
+ 2. introduction and conclusion
36
+ 3. title
37
+ 4. discussion
38
+ 5. methods
39
+ 6. abstract
40
+
41
+ The practical rule for this skill is simple: organize around evidence and argumentative function, not around the chronology of the raw draft.
42
+
43
+ ## Claim, evidence, boundary
44
+
45
+ Every important scientific statement should have three parts:
46
+
47
+ 1. `claim`: what is being said
48
+ 2. `evidence`: what supports it
49
+ 3. `boundary`: where the claim stops, or what uncertainty remains
50
+
51
+ Typical failures:
52
+
53
+ - claim without evidence
54
+ - data without an explicit point
55
+ - implication without a scope condition
56
+ - correlation rewritten as mechanism
57
+
58
+ When polishing, repair these failures before polishing rhythm.
59
+
60
+ ## Section responsibilities
61
+
62
+ ### Introduction
63
+
64
+ The Introduction should answer four questions:
65
+
66
+ 1. What is already known?
67
+ 2. What remains unresolved?
68
+ 3. What exact question does this study ask?
69
+ 4. How does the study address it?
70
+
71
+ Do not summarize results or conclusions here.
72
+
73
+ ### Results
74
+
75
+ Results state what was observed. They should provide:
76
+
77
+ - object or system
78
+ - condition
79
+ - quantitative support
80
+ - direct result
81
+
82
+ Do not turn Results into a Discussion section by adding long mechanistic interpretation.
83
+
84
+ ### Discussion
85
+
86
+ Discussion explains what the findings mean. It should address:
87
+
88
+ - how the work fits the broader field
89
+ - what has been added to understanding
90
+ - which earlier work is being supported, revised, or complicated
91
+ - which explanations are plausible
92
+ - which limitations constrain the interpretation
93
+
94
+ Discussion is the natural home for hedging.
95
+
96
+ ### Methods
97
+
98
+ Methods should pass a reproducibility test: could another group repeat the work from this description, or from this description plus a clearly cited prior protocol?
99
+
100
+ Reject vague writing such as:
101
+
102
+ - `under standard conditions`
103
+ - `using routine methods`
104
+ - `data were analysed statistically`
105
+
106
+ ### Conclusion
107
+
108
+ Conclusion is not a mini-discussion. A strong closing usually does three things:
109
+
110
+ 1. restates the central contribution
111
+ 2. identifies the decisive evidence
112
+ 3. states the implication with a boundary
113
+
114
+ Do not introduce new data here.
115
+
116
+ ### Abstract
117
+
118
+ The abstract is a mini-paper:
119
+
120
+ 1. context or problem
121
+ 2. gap
122
+ 3. approach
123
+ 4. key result
124
+ 5. implication
125
+
126
+ It should help the reader decide whether the paper is relevant, credible, and potentially important.
127
+
128
+ ## Citation as positioning
129
+
130
+ Citation is not just a formatting issue. It tells the reader how the current work stands relative to earlier work.
131
+
132
+ Useful categories:
133
+
134
+ - `support`: prior work supports the premise
135
+ - `borrow`: current work adopts a method, framework, or protocol
136
+ - `contrast`: current work differs in result, setting, or interpretation
137
+ - `reuse/adaptation`: material, data, code, or images come from elsewhere
138
+
139
+ Always cite the source actually read and verified. Do not cite a paper as direct support if you only know it through another paper's summary.
140
+
141
+ ## Fairness to earlier work
142
+
143
+ Do not manufacture novelty by flattening previous studies into a weak baseline. Prefer language like:
144
+
145
+ - `Although previous studies showed ..., their performance in ... remains unclear.`
146
+ - `Earlier work established ..., but did not address ...`
147
+
148
+ This preserves intellectual honesty while still making the gap explicit.
149
+
150
+ ## Overclaim control
151
+
152
+ Watch for:
153
+
154
+ - `prove`
155
+ - `conclusively`
156
+ - `unprecedented`
157
+ - `best`
158
+ - unqualified `first`
159
+
160
+ Replace or qualify them unless the evidence is unusually strong and the scope is tightly defined.

+ Before rewriting, identify the main problem:
4
+
5
+ - wrong paper type logic
6
+ - missing gap or poor positioning
7
+ - claim without evidence
8
+ - evidence without a clear claim
9
+ - missing boundary or limitation
10
+ - Results and Discussion mixed together
11
+ - weak title or abstract signal
12
+ - inconsistent terminology, abbreviations, units, or notation across sections
13
+ - evidence-complete but main-text-bloated Results
14
+ - reviewer-driven additions appended without deleting redundant prose
15
+ - the same claim or full statistical report repeated across Results and captions
16
+ - sentence-level clutter only
17
+
18
+ Prioritize fixes in this order:
19
+
20
+ `paper type -> section job -> evidence placement -> paragraph necessity -> claim/evidence/boundary -> sentence polish`
21
+
22
+ Do not sentence-polish a draft whose section job is wrong. Surface the structural problem first, then polish.
23
+
24
+ For Results or full-main-text work, load
25
+ `../../../nature-shared/core/main-text-discipline.md`. Resolve evidence placement,
26
+ revision accretion, explanatory recursion, and claim repetition before editing
27
+ sentence rhythm.
28
+
29
+ Terminology consistency is a cross-cutting check that runs at every level: build the Terminology Ledger on first contact (see `../../../nature-shared/core/terminology-ledger.md`) and enforce its canonical forms throughout the polish.

+ # Default stance
2
+
3
+ - Language serves argument. Do not polish sentences while leaving the reasoning broken.
4
+ - Write with empathy for the reader: relevance first, then novelty, then trust, then reuse, then meaning.
5
+ - There should be no mystery for the writer, but there may be one for the reader.
6
+ - Do not invent data, references, mechanisms, or novelty claims.
7
+ - Do not let AI draft the paper's core scientific argument from scratch.
8
+ - If the draft is Chinese or structurally rough, reconstruct the logic first and the prose second.
9
+ - On first contact with the draft, build a Terminology Ledger and keep terms, abbreviations, units, and notation consistent across every section. Do not introduce synonyms to vary the prose. See `../../../nature-shared/core/terminology-ledger.md`.
10
+ - Avoid em dashes in polished output by default. Prefer commas, parentheses, or full stops. Use colons sparingly unless the user explicitly asks to preserve dash-based punctuation or wants a colon-led style.
11
+
12
+ ## Reader workflow
13
+
14
+ See `../../../nature-shared/core/reader-workflow.md` (loaded via manifest `always_load`) for the 5-step reader question sequence. Polishing should help the paper answer those questions in order.
15
+
16
+ ## Protect the core argument
17
+
18
+ The paper's core argument includes:
19
+
20
+ - the scientific question the paper actually answers
21
+ - why that question matters
22
+ - how the work differs from existing research
23
+ - what the results imply
24
+ - how the main line of reasoning unfolds
25
+
26
+ AI may help polish, structure, or compare phrasings. AI should not invent or author the core argument. If the argument is weak or unclear, expose that weakness rather than hiding it under polished language.

3
+ ## Read the shared facts first
4
+
5
+ Open `../../../../nature-shared/journal-formats/nat-comms.md` for the authoritative formatting facts: word limits, abstract rules, figure specs, reference style, mandatory statements, and common desk-rejection patterns.
6
+
7
+ The notes below are the **polishing action layer** on top of those facts.
8
+
9
+ ## Audience
10
+
11
+ Open-access, broader than a subfield journal but more specialist-tolerant than Nature. The reader is typically an active researcher in an adjacent area.
12
+
13
+ ## Polishing priorities
14
+
15
+ - Significance framing matters, but a less aggressive opening than Nature is acceptable.
16
+ - Word count is more forgiving than Nature, but **the ~5,000-word cap includes Methods**. If polishing brings the manuscript near the limit, surface a word-budget check rather than just compressing prose.
17
+ - Methods can stay more detailed in-line; do not strip reproducibility content just to hit length.
18
+ - Same em-dash and hedging defaults as Nature.
19
+ - Abstract is unstructured, 150 words, no citations. If the user's abstract has citations or is structured (Background/Methods/Results), restructure before sentence polishing.
20
+
21
+ ## Length-aware polishing checks
22
+
23
+ When polishing a Nature Communications Article, run these word-budget checks before sentence-level work:
24
+
25
+ 1. Estimate total word count **including Methods**. Verify the current journal limit when submission compliance is requested. If over the applicable limit, continue meaning-preserving polishing and flag the gap in Revision notes. Obtain approval before substantive cuts to results, methods, or argument; length diagnosis does not block language edits.
26
+ 2. If display items > 10, flag for redistribution into Supplementary Information before deeper edits.
27
+ 3. If references > ~60, flag for trimming or consolidation.
28
+ 4. If the abstract is > 150 words or contains citations, restructure first.
29
+
30
+ These are diagnostic, not destructive — surface the problem in `Revision notes:` rather than silently cutting.
31
+
32
+ ## Things the shared facts already cover
33
+
34
+ Do not restate facts that live in `nature-shared/journal-formats/nat-comms.md`. Reference them when the user asks. Examples Claude should respond by reading shared facts:
35
+
36
+ - "What's the reference style?" → cite the format example from shared
37
+ - "How many figures can I have?" → cite the 10-item cap from shared

22
+ ## Audience and stance
23
+
24
+ Polish for readers across AI, robotics, machine learning and the scientific or
25
+ societal application domain. Preserve technical precision while making the
26
+ question, evidence and consequence understandable outside one specialist
27
+ benchmark community.
28
+
29
+ ## Structure before sentence polish
30
+
31
+ For an Article, check these before line editing:
32
+
33
+ 1. Count Introduction + Results + Discussion against the 3,500-word main-text
34
+ limit; exclude abstract, Methods, references and legends.
35
+ 2. Keep the unreferenced abstract at or below 150 words.
36
+ 3. Check that figures and tables total no more than six.
37
+ 4. Keep the introduction unheaded; allow topical subheadings in Results and
38
+ Methods but not in Discussion.
39
+ 5. Preserve enough Methods detail for replication; NMI does not publish a
40
+ fixed Methods word limit on the current pages.
41
+
42
+ Report an over-limit or wrong-structure manuscript under `Revision notes:`.
43
+ Do not silently delete evidence, uncertainty or reproducibility detail to make
44
+ the prose fit.
45
+
46
+ ## Claim calibration
47
+
48
+ - Replace benchmark-only claims of general intelligence or deployment
49
+ readiness with the evaluated scope.
50
+ - Separate gains due to architecture from data, supervision, compute or tuning
51
+ differences.
52
+ - Name robustness and transfer boundaries when the prose currently hides them.
53
+ - Do not convert association, retrospective performance or simulation results
54
+ into causal, clinical or societal effectiveness.
55
+ - Define specialist abbreviations and remove jargon that is not needed for
56
+ technical accuracy.
57
+
58
+ ## Results–Discussion calibration
59
+
60
+ - Preserve a claim-escalating Results sequence rather than flattening related
61
+ subsections into parallel experiment reports.
62
+ - Keep a bounded local inference in Results when it directly resolves the
63
+ current experiment; move cross-result synthesis and broader implications to
64
+ Discussion.
65
+ - Keep conclusion-changing robustness and failure boundaries visible in the
66
+ main text; move reassurance-only variants to SI.
67
+ - Permit a brief finding anchor in Discussion, but remove repeated evidence,
68
+ effect sizes, and tests that merely re-demonstrate the Results claim.
69
+
70
+ ## Introduction calibration
71
+
72
+ - Compress broad context until the specific unresolved problem appears early.
73
+ - Replace vague limitation language with the exact unknown, condition,
74
+ mechanism, boundary, or literature tension.
75
+ - Reorganize citation catalogues into a known–unknown argument.
76
+ - Replace novelty adjectives with the research question and the design that can
77
+ answer it.
78
+ - Check that each Introduction question maps to a Results answer and that the
79
+ closing paragraph previews this route without replaying the paper.
80
+
81
+ ## Abstract calibration
82
+
83
+ - Rebuild the abstract around one main discovery rather than a list of
84
+ datasets, models, metrics, and completed analyses.
85
+ - Keep only enough method information to show why the design answers the gap.
86
+ - Retain no more than one or two decisive supporting claims or boundaries.
87
+ - Keep a number only when it defines, supports, or bounds the main discovery.
88
+ - Make the final sentence state the bounded conceptual or field-level payoff,
89
+ not merely superior performance.
90
+
91
+ ## Submission-sensitive checks
92
+
93
+ - Preserve explicit disclosure of a substantially extended conference paper.
94
+ - Preserve Data Availability and the separate Code availability section.
95
+ - Flag missing reviewer access or a missing Software Submission Checklist when
96
+ new code is central to the conclusions.
97
+ - Do not apply a flagship Nature title, Methods or legend limit. NMI's current
98
+ public pages state no current fixed number for those items. For figure
99
+ legends, use the official 2018 NMI below-300-word instruction only as a
100
+ historical advisory ceiling: count the complete legend, not each panel, aim
101
+ for 150–250 English words, and obey any newer editor or submission-system
102
+ instruction.

5

7
+ ## Polishing priorities
8

9
+ - The opening sentence must signal significance for a non-specialist audience without overclaiming.
10

11
+ - Abstract is unstructured prose for many Nature titles; check the target journal's current guideline if the user names one.
12
+ - Length discipline: Nature articles are unforgiving on word count. Prefer cuts to compressions.
13
+ - No em dashes in body prose. Use commas, parentheses, or shorter sentences.

4

7
+ - Do not produce full sentences under `10` words unless the user explicitly asks for terse style or the item is a heading, label, or fixed technical expression.
8
+ - If any sentence exceeds `20` words, check whether it contains more than one main proposition.
9
+ - Split overloaded sentences rather than polishing them cosmetically.
10
+ - The last sentence of a paragraph often becomes the longest and weakest. Check it explicitly.
11
+ - Prefer one core subject-verb proposition per sentence.
12
+ - Do not use em dashes as prose punctuation in the polished version unless the user explicitly requests them. Rewrite with commas, parentheses, or shorter sentences instead. Use colons only when they add clear structural value.
13
+
14
+ ## Paragraph rules
15
+
16
+ - Each paragraph should have one controlling idea followed by support.
17
+ - Supporting material may include data, comparison, explanation, consequence, literature, or limitation.
18
+ - If a new idea appears, start a new paragraph instead of stacking it onto the old one.
