 <\/p>\n

The measure of science is citations. Whether experimental results get called significant or whether new lines of research get taken up depends on the number of citations an article receives. And it’s always articles. The primary outlet of scientific research is the journal, and a journal’s Impact Factor (its index for frequency of article citation) is for the submitter of a manuscript a stand-in for that journal’s name.<\/p>\n

Presumably all citations are citations of the science reported in articles, but what if there is more? It pays to know, because the Impact Factor decides more than just the standing of journals and the advance of science, the Impact Factor can decide people’s careers. The dictum „Publish or perish!“ is directed at junior scientists, funding applicants, and research project managers, whose personal successes or failures may hang in the citational balance.<\/p>\n

Our workshop I’m a scientist, not a writer!<\/em> wants to know whether writing style impacts the Impact Factor. How truthful is the claim that the better the writing, the wider the recognition granted a research article? Contributors to the workshop suggest the hypothesis that this claim is much truer than is currently recognized. When an article presents a clear and straightforward read and when the writing style draws readers‘ attentions, then that article is likelier to be cited than an article lacking precisely these variables, and this holds, our contributors argue, even after controlling for both significance of findings and soundness of methods.<\/p>\n

Here are the contributors to our workshop I’m a scientist, not a writer!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
