I have been told that a good paper is simple and concise but the best paper passes the "Norwegian Test" whereby we suppose that if you were handed only the abstract and plots in your paper you could understand the entire development presented within the paper. The complexities reality contain do not necessitate the complexity of the details or developments as presented by a single paper. I've always favored summary books assembled from smaller papers as opposed to large and extremely complicated papers.
