The writing matters! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Economics papers that had gone through a round of editing to improve the writing were judged to be of higher quality and judged to be more likely to be accepted for a conference or at a good journal. by @EconFeld, Lines, & Ross

We enjoyed taking part in this study with @EconFeld #PlainLanguage #BetterResults
Writing matters. Academics judge betterwritten papers "as higher quality; they are more likely to accept [better written] versions for a conference; and they believe that [they] have a better chance of being accepted at a good journal." sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Many people (especially grad students) believe you have to write badly to be taken seriously as an academic. False! New study shows the opposite.
The paper is published in the Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization. It is open access. You can find the replication package here: doi.org/10.17605/OSF.I… 7/7
There are also more noble reasons for improving your writing. Better writing removes barriers and demonstrates respect for readers. Clear academic writing is in the spirit of #OpenScience. 6/7
Senior economists evaluated the edited papers more positively. They judged the papers as · better overall (0.2 SD) · more likely to be accepted at a conference (8.4 percentage points) · more likely to get published in a good economics journal (4.1 percentage points) 5/7
Writing experts judged the language-edited versions as · better written overall (0.60 SD) · allowing the reader to find the key message more easily (0.58 SD), · having fewer mistakes (0.67 SD) · easier to read (0.53 SD) · more concise (0.50 SD) 4/7
Stage 2: We asked writing experts and senior economists to evaluate the original and language-edited version of the same papers. No evaluator saw both versions of the same paper. 3/7
We ran a 2-stage experiment to estimate the causal effect of writing quality. Stage 1: We language-edited 30 academic papers for clarity. All papers were written by PhD students in economics. 2/7
Is better writing rewarded in peer review? Our newly published suggests the answer is “Yes”! doi.org/10.1016/j.jebo… #EconTwitter 🧵 1/7
Thanks to everyone for making #PLAIN2023 a wonderful success. We are so happy to have met so many new trailblazers in new parts of the world. We look forward to seeing @LClaro_UBA continue to grow and change lives.
