ORGANIZING INFORMATION APPROPRIATELY
Organization is critical. Sentences may be crafted perfectly on an
individual level, but if they are ordered in a way that is confusing
or inconsistent, they will not convey their messages clearly.
The following examples present passages that are muddled and
out of sequence. The fact that they aren't impossible to follow is
due mostly to the fact that they're short. On a larger scale, poor
organization can cause a piece of writing to be unintelligible.
EXAMPLE 1
When you prepare a research article for publication, set it aside and
read it again after a day or two. Does it say what you intended? Try to
get a peer review. A fresher or sharper eye may spot areas of weakness,

to run a spell-check before you print out the copy that will go to the

the writer should do. The first category should be completed before
the second is begun.
Second, sentence 4 is closely related to sentence 3, in that it
expounds on why it is important to get a peer review. This relationship
will be made more obvious if the two sentences are run together.
Third, two of the aspects that the writer is advised to check for
are presented as questions, and two are presented as statements.
Apart from the faulty parallelism (information on equivalent matters
should be presented in an equivalent way, to make the relationship
