How to Improve Wordiness in Medical Manuscript
Writing?

Do you find yourself writing too long sentences
in your manuscript? Did you ever re-read your
sentence and struggled to understand its
meaning? If yes, you may be suffering from
something called prolixity, or in simple terms,
wordiness. Wordiness is one of the common
mistakes a writer makes. Prolixity happens when a
writer, either intentionally or unintentionally,
uses too many words or unnecessarily complex or
abstract words in his document when the job can
be done in a few words.

Wordiness can seriously impact the coherency and
quality of your writing and will likely
frustrate/bore your readers. So, here are the
ways to help you avoid wordiness and increase the
quality of your medical manuscript.

4 Ways to Improve Wordiness in Medical Manuscript

1)Fillers

• One easy way to control wordiness is to limit (or
  eliminate) the use of filler words. Filler
  words are used between relevant words and may
  sound good but essentially they are useless.
• For example, in the above paragraph, Wordiness
  is one of the most common mistakes, the word
  most is a filler word. Leaving this word out
  would not change the meaning but actually improve
  the sentence.
• Wordiness often becomes apparent while re-reading
  your document.

2)Redundancies

• Redundancies are another cause of wordiness. It
  can take two forms redundant words or redundant
  information.
• Redundant words are mostly found in descriptive
  writing when writers attempt to describe
  something and overuse the synonyms. For example
  Hes my paternal cousin from my fathers side of
  the family.  In this sentence, paternal cousin
  is self-explanatory and adding from my fathers
  side of the family is superfluous and redundant.

• The second form of redundancy occurs when writers
  say the same thing many times, but in different
  ways.
• Redundant information often crops in such a way
  Scientists have found that cancer cells can be
  repressed through daily consumption of carrot
  juice twice.
• The two sentences while written differently
  contain the same information. Therefore, avoid
  redundant information to reduce wordiness in
  your manuscript writing.

3)Qualifiers

• Qualifiers come directly before an adjective
  or adverb and are used to either increase or
  decrease the quality of the modified word. For
  example, in the phrase John is very lazy, very i
  s the qualifier. Overuse of such qualifiers can
  make a piece of writing sound lazily constructed
  and distract the readers.
• Qualified words can often be replaced by a
  single, more potent word. For example, Your Mom
  is extremely angry could be shortened to Your
  Mom is furious.

4)Logorrhoea

• Logorrhoea is the intentional use of long
  sentences or overly abstract wording and is the
  most frustrating form of wordiness.
• A sentence which could have something succinct in
  three words, but instead the author composes a
  sentence so laden with adjectives and qualifiers
  that the readers simply get confused by the time
  they reach the end. All these extra words can
  unnecessarily complicate medical manuscript
  writing.
