GLOSSARY FOR RESEARCH PAPERS: Strictly Speaking

THEY WRITE THEY MEAN

It has long been known that... I haven't bothered to look up
the original reference

...of great theoretical and practical ...interesting to me
importance

While it has not been possible to The experiments didn't work
provide definite answers to these out, but I figured I could at
questions. least get a publication out
of it.

The W-Pb system was chosen as The fellow in the next lab had
especially suitable to show the some already made up
predicted behavior...

High purity... Composition unknown except
Very high purity... for the exaggerated claims of
Extremely high purity... the supplier
Super-purity...
Spectroscopically pure...

A fiducial reference line... A scratch

Three of the samples were The results of the others
chosen for detailed study... didn't make sense and were
ignored..

...handled with extreme care during ...not dropped on the floor
the experiments

Typical results are shown... The best results are shown...

Although some detail has been lost It is impossible to tell from
in reproduction, it is clear from the the micrograph
original micrograph that...

Presumably at longer times... I didn't take the time to find
out

The agreement with the predicted fair
curve is excellent

good poor

satisfactory doubtful

fair imaginary

...as good as could be expected non-existent

These results will be reported at I might get around to this
a later date sometime

The most reliable values are those He was a student of mine
of Jones

It is suggested that...
It is believed that... I think...
It may be that...

It is generally believed that.... I have such a good objection
to this answer that I shall
now raise it.

It is clear that much additional I don't understand it
work will be required before a
complete understanding...

Unfortunately, a quantitative theory Neither does anybody else
to account for these effects has not
been formulated

Correct within an order of magnitude Wrong

It is to be hoped that this work This paper isn't very good but
will stimulate further work in the field neither are any of the others
on this miserable subject

Thanks are due to Joe Glotz for Glotz did the work and Doe
assistance with the experiments and explained what it meant.
to John Doe for valuable discussions.

Hmmm...500 times a day at .39 a can....that's $195 a day...

I think you'd be better off with Beanie Babies and Gloria Vanderbilt jeans...
