yeah I think a lot of researchers forget they're supposed to be doing this for the public. they fill their papers with jargon bc they want to impress the peer reviewers of the science journals --

Scientists were so *shocked* that people don’t trust/understand/believe them when the pandemic hit. 🙄 Consequences of failing utterly at communication.

Also the fact that if you are not a student at a university you have to pay for each paper. In the long run it gets expensive.

I’ve been saying this for years. Is there scholarship being done with this and the decline of western democracies. It’s like you are not smart if you don’t speak jargon

Research papers are the cutting edge of their fields, they’re usually written for people who have background knowledge on the subject. When many papers are put together and synthesized into a book 1/3

@blacademics Do you think education still has a place in society, regardless of its flaws?

Genuine q, my field is math/stats and people generally cannot grasp math/stats research unless they’ve studied for several years. With intensely technical subjects like math how can you do this

YES!! 🖤 I remember reading Spivack’s “Can the Subaltern Speak” (which I appreciated) thinking the subaltern (like me) might not even understand this 🤷🏽♀️

Exactly the rule of thumb has always been to make it understood by a 4th or 5th grade level

I agree, but I work in neuroscience. there's no way to make that completely 100% accessible. same with mathematical research, or physics research
