Before & after
How we edit
Expert comment
ExampleOriginal
Many cities built new subway lines. In this study we look at housing prices. Housing prices are important for households.
Edited
This study examines whether new subway lines raise nearby housing prices, a question that matters to both households and transit planners.
The three sentences didn't connect, so the research question never came through. They're combined into one sentence that states the question and why it matters, placed at the start of the introduction.
An example sentence written for illustration — not a real customer manuscript.
