"In consequence,"

[HowardCohl]

@AndreG-P @physikerwelt

The phrase "in consequence," is used 6 times in the text. I personally don't like this language, and rarely see this written.

Please remove it if it is not absolutely necessary.

Otherwise use "therefore" "in summary" "Hence" (only at start of a sentence), etc.

[HowardCohl]

There is still on "Consequently, " in the abstract. Can you fix this?

[HowardCohl]

This is still a consequence in Section 3.4. Can you fix this?

[HowardCohl]

Another important issue is that "therefore" is used incorrectly in many places in the paper. Therefore means it follows logically from the previous discussion. I think something different is meant in many cases, such as "In order to remedy this problem" or something like that.

@AndreG-P Check the "Hence" too.

@AndreG-P I think most of the time, you can just remove these words. Look at how the sentence reads if you do that, and if it reads ok, then do it. I think you just want some word to build a bridge between previous sentences and current sentence. But this is usually not necessary. If the word is essential, then find a more descriptive replacement description, otherwise remove it.

@AndreG-P as a bonus you could add some lessons learned from this editing experience to our wiki https://isgroup.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/STUD/pages/22872075/Academic+Writing

@HowardCohl it's actually very hard for me to decide whether these transitional words are needed or not. @physikerwelt the literature is not very helpful here. Most literature seems to recommend transitional words because it guides the reader through the argumentation. The only I learned from the books according to this problem is that 'hence' is used in UK English and 'therefore', 'theremore', etc. in US English.

So I deleted hence from the text and sometimes removed however also, if the argumentation seems to work also without this word.

I will publish the final version now.
