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?


Even biomedical researchers who are just beginning their careers are expected already to have published articles of major significance to the field.

Contributions to the field of biomedical research are generally considered to be significant only if the work is published.

The potential scientific importance of not-yet-published work is sometimes taken into account in decisions regarding the hiring or promotion of biomedical researchers.

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.

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.

考题讲解

情景:研究者一直认为它们的雇佣和升值是源自于他们发布文章的数量。但是,实际上,更重要的是出版物的质量和影响,而不是数量本身。

推理:本题问:“原文的信息,会和下列哪一个形成反驳关系”?因此,本题并不是让我们评估一个推理,而是依据推理文段的信息继续推断,其推理方式为:必然性推理
原文内容其实就是在说,应该是按照论文的质量而非是数量来判断一个人的雇佣和升职。看懂题目,就应当会做。下面我只做翻译,不在赘述解题的思路。

选题方式:


选项分析:

A选项:就算是那些刚刚进入生物医药领域的人也会期待自己已经发表了该领域重大发现的文章。

B选项:仅当论文发表的时候,其对于生物医药领域的贡献才会被认为是显著的。

C选项:未发表论文的潜在科技重要性也会在被雇佣和升职中作为一个参考。


D选项:负责雇佣或者升职生物医药领域的研究者的人可以被合理的认为他有能力给出一个公平公正的对于候选者发表的论文的影响力的判定。

E选项:
Correct. 生物医药的研究员可以通过拆分他们的研究发现的方式来增加他们获得提升的可能性。
