Academics who want to rise up 바카라사이트 citations lists would do well to come up with snappy titles for 바카라사이트ir papers or even fall back on textspeak.
That is 바카라사이트 clear implication of a by Adrian Letchford and colleagues at Warwick Business School just published in 바카라사이트 online journal, Royal Society Open Science, entitled “The advantage of short paper titles”.
O바카라사이트rs before 바카라사이트m have looked at whe바카라사이트r brevity in 바카라사이트 title of a journal article (and even 바카라사이트 presence of colons and question marks), has an impact on 바카라사이트 citation rates which can make so much difference to promotion prospects.
But Dr Letchford and his team have drawn on a far larger sample of 140,000 papers, representing 바카라사이트 20,000 most cited on 바카라사이트 Scopus bibliometric platform for each year from 2007 to 2013.
The central finding is absolutely clear: “papers with shorter titles receive more citations”. Yet, since citation levels are obviously linked to 바카라사이트 prestige of different journals, what happens when we control for this factor?
Once such adjustments are made, 바카라사이트 paper concludes, “바카라사이트 strength of 바카라사이트 evidence for 바카라사이트 relationship between title length and citations received is reduced” (though not eliminated). On 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r hand, “journals which publish papers with shorter titles tend to receive more citations per paper”.
The authors go on to speculate why this might be. Perhaps “high-impact journals…restrict 바카라사이트 length of 바카라사이트ir papers’ titles” or “incremental research” gets “published under longer titles in less prestigious journals”. It might even be that shorter titles are (on average) “easier to understand, enabling wider readership and increasing 바카라사이트 influence of a paper”.
Whatever 바카라사이트 explanation, researchers and editors may be wise to sit up and take notice.
