You have little to no experience in writing a scientific paper, little experience in reading papers, and I don't know your field or if you're reading bottom-tier papers or high quality papers.

I'm therefore not sure what to make of your response. Is it just a complaint to the universe or do you want something specific?

Because I can complain about crappy papers until the cows come home. But that's a well-worn story that doesn't interest anyone. Even me. Everyone complains about it. Here's a 1962 paper in my field on the very topic: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/c160006a001 . Here's a book on the topic: https://www.amazon.com/Writing-Science-Robert-Goldbort/dp/03... . Here's a cartoon from PhD Comics: http://www.nature.com/scitable/ebooks/english-communication-... (or see http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=405 for a translation guide; PhD comics touches on this topic often).
