The reader's familiarity with the subject will determine how many specialized terms you can use. If the reader has a thorough knowledge of the subject, you can use acronyms, specialized nomenclature, and jargon that readers in a specific discipline regularly read and use. If the reader has little knowledge of the subject, limit the use of specialized vocabulary or perhaps define the terms. Another possibility is to substitute phrases or words that clearly express your meaning.
