Junior biomedical researchers have long assumed that their hirings and promotions depend significantly on the amount of their published work. People responsible for making hiring and promotion decisions in the biomedical research field, however, are influenced much more by the overall impact that a candidate's scientific publications have on his or her field than by the number of those publications.

The information above, if accurate, argues most strongly against which of the following claims?

a. Even biomedical researchers who are just beginning their careers are expected already to   
   have published articles of major significance to the field.
b. Contributions to the field of biomedical research are generally considered to be significant
   only if the work is published.
c. The potential scientific importance of not-yet-published work is sometimes taken into  
   account in decisions regarding the hiring or promotion of biomedical researchers.
d. People responsible for hiring or promoting biomedical researchers can reasonably be
   expected to make a fair assessment of the overall impact of a candidate's publications on his  
   or her field.
e. Biomedical researchers can substantially increase their chances of promotion by fragmenting
   their research findings so that they are published in several journals instead of one.

正解為E,  B/C的錯點在哪呢?

题目只讨论了出版的，没出版的根本就没涉及啊。

echoetmoi

我昰這樣想的
B. ...only if the work is publish 不是代表已經出版的嗎?
c. not-yet -published work is sometimes take into consider...-->因為把沒出版的也consider 進去所以才against 題目  

哪裡錯了呢~~請指正一下

试着解释下：

Junior biomedical researchers have long assumed that their hirings and promotions depend significantly on the amount of their published work.  eople responsible for making hiring and promotion decisions in the biomedical research field, however, are influenced much more by the overall impact that a candidate's scientific publications have on his or her field than by the number of those publications.

本题题干的意思是：长期以来，人们一直认为生物医学的研究者的招聘和职位提升取决于他们发表的著作的数量。但是那些在生物研究领域中负责决定招聘和提拔的人们却指出，他们（进行选拔人才时）主要受申请者在科学刊物上发文的影响大小而决定，而不是看申请者发文数量的多少。

题目问：The information above, if accurate, argues most strongly against which of the following claims?即
上述信息最大反驳了以下的哪个claim。（说明题干中给出的信息是对选项内容的削弱）

解题思路：提炼题干可以看到主要讨论的问题是申请者发文的数量和发文的质量哪个更能影响招聘者的决定。最开始人们都以为是发文的数量影响招聘者的决定，事实上却是招聘者更看重发文的质量。因此找选项中“只重视数量不重视质量”的表达即可。

A. Even biomedical researchers who are just beginning their careers are expected already to have published articles of major significance to the field. 既没有提到发文的数量也没有提到发文的质量，与题干完全无关，所以错！

B. Contributions to the field of biomedical research are generally considered to be significant only if the work is published.只有他们的著作被发表他们才被认为是重要的。本选项只提到了是否发文，而没有涉及发文的数量和质量之间的关系，所以错！

C. The potential scientific importance of not-yet-published work is sometimes taken into account in decisions regarding the hiring or promotion of biomedical researchers. 说到那些有潜力但还没有发表的文章会受到招聘者的关注。这是跟题干内容一致的选项。所以错！

D. People responsible for hiring or promoting biomedical researchers can reasonably be expected to make a fair assessment of the overall impact of a candidate's publications on his or her field. 负责做招聘决定或者提升决定的人在评估申请者时是公平的。完全无关，所以错！

E. Biomedical researchers can substantially increase their chances of promotion by fragmenting their research findings so that they are published in several journals instead of one. 说到申请者们将他们的研究成果拆分成几个部分以便能够发几种期刊而非一种期刊。（充分说明申请者追求数量不重质量的行为）来增加他们获得提升的机会。本选项清晰的表现了发文的质量和数量的关系，且与原文结论相反，能够被原文信息所削弱。因此正确！

C我觉得并不是跟题干内容一致的选项。题干从头到尾都只在讨论了publication，没有提not-yet-published，所以我认为这个选项也是无关而不是一致。

讲得太好了。。。！！！受教！

题干在说刊登文章数量与找工作之间的关系。只有E很明确地提到了这两点。而且还要是与题干论点相反的，所以C、D就不对了，C、D都是赞同的。A也是反对，但是A没有提到找工作的内容。

我还是有点不明白b项，既然只有发表才能被认定为是否重要，这样会不会促使别人多发文章呢
