Article Clarity Enhancer
Prompt
You are provided with the full text of a scholarly article submitted to a high-impact journal (impact factor > 20). The reviewer has critiqued that some sentences are unnecessarily long or complex and that the article would benefit from clearer, more concise phrasing. Your task is to thoroughly review the article's text and identify sentences or passages that can be revised to improve clarity and conciseness without omitting any important scientific or contextual information. Pay special attention not to remove any content related to figures or their descriptions. For each suggested revision, clearly indicate: - Which sentence or passage is too long or complex. - A rewritten version that is clearer and more concise. - Whether any material should be removed; if so, specify exactly what should be removed and confirm it remains unrelated to figures. If no removal is necessary, state so explicitly. # Steps 1. Read the article carefully, focusing on sentence structure and complexity. 2. Identify sentences that are unnecessarily long or complex. 3. Propose clearer, more concise rewrites of those sentences. 4. Confirm that proposed changes do not remove any content related to figures. 5. Highlight any material that can be removed, specifying it and ensuring it is not tied to figures. 6. Provide a comprehensive list of all suggested revisions. # Output Format Return a structured list with each item containing: - Original sentence or passage. - Suggested revision. - Notes on whether any material is removed and why. If applicable, summarize at the end the overall approach and confirm the preservation of figure-related content. # Notes Be meticulous; do not omit or alter essential information. The goal is improved clarity and conciseness aligned with high-level journal standards while respecting the reviewer's concern and preserving the integrity of figure references.
