论文摘要
研究人员可能会因其出版物的诗歌冠军而引起人们的关注，但是在某些领域会误解吗？尽管诗意的头衔在医学中很普遍，但尚不清楚这种做法是否在其他地方广泛。本文研究了1996 - 2019年期刊文章标题中诗歌表达的流行率，其中330万篇文章中的所有27个Scopus广泛领域。通过手动检查至少5个单词至少发生25次的所有短语来识别表达，找到149个股票短语，成语，俗语，文学典故，电影名称和歌曲标题或歌词。在社会科学和人文科学中，发现的表达最常见。它们在医学中也相对常见，但工程学以及自然和正式科学几乎没有。这些差异可能反映出社会科学和人文科学的分层和更多样化的性质，有趣的标题可能会吸引观众。在工程，自然科学和正规科学领域，作者应谨慎对待诗意的表情，以防他们的选择被认为是不合适的。这包括跨学科研究重叠这些领域。相反，涉及社会科学的跨学科研究的审稿人应该更宽容诗意许可。
Researchers may be tempted to attract attention through poetic titles for their publications, but would this be mistaken in some fields? Whilst poetic titles are known to be common in medicine, it is not clear whether the practice is widespread elsewhere. This article investigates the prevalence of poetic expressions in journal article titles 1996-2019 in 3.3 million articles from all 27 Scopus broad fields. Expressions were identified by manually checking all phrases with at least 5 words that occurred at least 25 times, finding 149 stock phrases, idioms, sayings, literary allusions, film names and song titles or lyrics. The expressions found are most common in the social sciences and the humanities. They are also relatively common in medicine, but almost absent from engineering and the natural and formal sciences. The differences may reflect the less hierarchical and more varied nature of the social sciences and humanities, where interesting titles may attract an audience. In engineering, natural science and formal science fields, authors should take extra care with poetic expressions, in case their choice is judged inappropriate. This includes interdisciplinary research overlapping these areas. Conversely, reviewers of interdisciplinary research involving the social sciences should be more tolerant of poetic license.
