Scientists are ignoring unattractive plants Here s why it should stop   – Manila Bulletin

Published May 25, 2021, 10:30 AM Martino Adamo, a plant researcher, and Stefano Mammola, an ecologist, conducted an analysis on scientific papers about 113 plant species growing in the Southwestern Alps. Their goal is to see if the physical features of plants are contributing factors to the number of scientific studies about them.  The duo found that most species with a higher risk of extinction are the ones less studied. The external appearance of plants is one of the major contributors to this.  Adamo and Mammola’s research suggests that pleasant-looking species have a higher appearance in scientific journals than the unconventional or unattractive ones. For example, blue flowers are more likely to be studied than those plants with brown or green-colored blooms. 

Say what? More jargon in a paper means fewer scientists will read it, study finds

Say what? More jargon in a paper means fewer scientists will read it, study finds Cave scientist Alejandro Martinez found that researchers who lean too hard on jargon also risk alienating their peers in the same field some of whom may not even agree on what those terms mean in the first place.

Want other scientists to cite you? Drop the jargon

Apr. 6, 2021 , 7:01 PM If you want your work to be highly cited, here’s one simple tip that might help: Steer clear of discipline-specific jargon in the title and abstract. That’s the conclusion of a new study of roughly 20,000 published papers about cave science, a multidisciplinary field that includes researchers who study the biology, geology, paleontology, and anthropology of caves. The most highly cited papers didn’t use any terms specific to cave science in the title and kept jargon to less than 2% of the text in the abstract; jargon-heavy papers were cited far less often. “I was really, really interested in what the study did,” says Nandita Basu, an associate professor at the University of Waterloo who serves as an editor-in-chief at the
