Translate A Dense Academic Paper Into Plain English

The abstract alone has three words you had to look up, and the paper itself is worse. This translates the core argument into plain English: the question, the method, the finding, and what it actually means, with any unavoidable jargon explained as it comes up.

You have a research paper on {PAPER_TOPIC} that is full of technical terms and you need to actually understand the argument, not just the abstract. Translate the paper's core argument into plain English: what question it is answering, what method it used, what it found, and what the finding actually means for someone outside the field. Keep jargon to a minimum and explain any term you do have to use.
