7cs of communication
According to the seven Cs, communication needs to be: clear, concise, concrete,
correct, coherent, complete and courteous.
Importance :-
The 7Cs of communication is a very useful tool to
help write high-quality Email messages. It helps ensure
your messages are clear, targeted, and well-structured.
1. Clarity: Simplicity & Organization
Clarity is best achieved through short, simple and fluent sentences and paragraphs. Clarity is
interconnected with the principle of completeness and concreteness.
Example:-
>The big picture< at the beginning to greater detail towards the end. The last sentence in a
paragraph should indicate the information in the next paragraph..

2. Conciseness: Get to the Point
Conciseness means forming your message with minimum number of words possible without
invalidating the other 6 C’s. Avoid wordiness, repetition, and filler words or phrases
Example :-
This is particularly important in project proposals or research papers with strict word limits. Concise message is also
more appealing and comprehensible, and will save time both to you and your audience.
3. Concreteness: Specifics Instead of Generalizations
Concrete message is like a factsheet put to words. Concreteness is interconnected with the
principles of clarity, conciseness and consideration.
Example :-
For example, it is much better to say »In the review of the period from 2010 to 2015, A & B (2016) found that 75 %
of publications from the research area of X reported on the phenomenon of Y« than »The phenomenon of Y has
become increasingly recognized in the recent years«. Avoid also vague words and words with multiple meanings,
such as »in the future«, »several«, »quickly«, etc. Concreteness diminishes the need to guess the meaning and the
possibility of misinterpretation.
11. 4. Completeness: No Necessary Information is Missing
A complete message should convey all facts required by the audience.
Example
For example, your reviewers might be from another scientific field. It is therefore wise to include
more general information than
you normally would if you wrote a paper
within your narrow expertise
5. Correctness: Facts & Proofreading
Correctness refers to both factual and linguistic accuracy. All the information you provide needs to
stem from valid, reliable, and credible sources that can be located.
Example
Correctness is fundamental in research paper discussions, where your claims need to be
supported with facts and figures from your results.

12. 6. Courtesy: Stepping Into Audience’s Shoes
Courteous message is written from the viewpoint of the audience. Courtesy is interconnected
with the principle of completeness. However, it is also a way of showing respect.
Example
If you prepare a seminar about your latest discovery, you will need to provide background
information for your students, but you can skip those and get right to the details for your
coworkers.
7. Consideration: Scientists are People, Too
Consideration also entails good language. Visually or linguistically, your message shouldn’t
look as if it was prepared in a hurry! Consideration is interconnected with the principle of
correctness.
Example
Whatever document you are preparing, be considerate and use visual design to make the
main messages stand out.
During a conversation should be authentic and be polite during talking.
