Part C

Directions:

Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlinedsegments into Chinese. Your translation should be written neatly on the ANSWERSHEET. (10 points)

It was only after I started to write a weekly column about the medicaljournals, and began to read scientific papers from beginning to end, that Irealised just how bad much of the medical literature frequently was. I came torecognise various signs of a bad paper: the kind of paper that purports to showthat people who eat more than one kilo of broccoli a week were 1.17 times morelikely than those who eat less to suffer late in life from pernicious anaemia.(46) There is a great deal of this kind of nonsense in the medical journalswhich, when taken up by broadcasters and the lay press, generates both healthscares and short-lived dietary enthusiasms.

Why is so much bad science published? A recent paper, titled “The NaturalSelection of Bad Science”, published on the Royal Society’s open sciencewebsite, attempts to answer this intriguing and important question. It says thatthe problem is not merely that people do bad science, but that our currentsystem of career advancement positively encourages it. What is important is nottruth, but publication, which has become almost an end in itself. There has beena kind of inflationary process at work: (47) nowadays anyone applying for aresearch post has to have published twice the number of papers that would havebeen required for the same post only 10 years ago. Never mind the quality, then,count the number.

(48) Attempts have been made to curb this tendency, for example, by tryingto incorporate some measure of quality as well as quantity into the assessmentof an applicant’s papers. This is the famed citation index, that is to say thenumber of times a paper has been quoted elsewhere in the scientific literature,the assumption being that an important paper will be cited more often than oneof small account. (49) This would be reasonable if it were not for the fact thatscientists can easily arrange to cite themselves in their future publications,or get associates to do so for them in return for similar favours.

Boiling down an individual’s output to simple metrics, such as number ofpublications or journal impacts, entails considerable savings in time, energyand ambiguity. Unfortunately, the long-term costs of using simple quantitativemetrics to assess researcher merit are likely to be quite great. (50) If we areserious about ensuring that our science is both meaningful and reproducible, wemust ensure that our institutions encourage that kind of science.
