> Read critically

surely that means accepting that a bulk of research papers are written exceptionally poorly with excessive wordiness and jargon, a lack of good paragraph structure and not very much real content.

if you have to tell people who can read how to read something, its probably written incorrectly.



No change in writing style will let the researcher who reads it get out of thinking about how the ideas might be useful in their own work, what the authors might have done wrong without realizing it, etc.
