About science by the language of science, or How not to write scientific papers (an open letter to the authors of the journal "Vegetation of Russia")
An attempt has been made to draw the attention of the authors of the journal “Vegetation of Russia” on the style of scientific papers, which suffers from numerous inaccuracies (frequent recurrence of words; unreasoned use of reflexive verbs, passive forms, anthropomorphisms, words-parasites; unnecessary complication of the text; uncertainty of argumentation; cumbersome constructions to express simple ideas; and many others). The author expresses her deep assurance that it is necessary and possible to write the scientific papers by using both the scientific and good literary languages. Numerous examples of bad writing style (in Russian) are given.
