  abstract = {Authors rely on a range of devices and techniques to attract and maintain the interest of readers, and to convince them of the merits of the author{\textquoteright}s point of view. However, when writing a scientific article, authors must use these {\textquoteleft}persuasive communication devices{\textquoteright} carefully. In particular, they must be explicit about the limitations of their work, avoid obfuscation, and resist the temptation to oversell their results. Here we discuss a list of persuasive communication devices and we encourage authors, as well as reviewers and editors, to think carefully about their use.},
