Tendency of men to use words such as ‘excellent’ has effect on future citations of research

Male scientists are more likely than female ones to publish work that describes itself as “excellent”, “unique” or “novel”, experts have found – a swagger that appears to reap dividends in respect of how often others reference the research.

Hey NicolaKSDavis would you consider updating this to reflect the view that it’s men that are problematic for boasting rather than women being honest? See for an explanation

Probably because diversity forced them to do these jobs.

Huh

Wow, some would go to great lengths to drag out any form of perceived inequality, no matter how stupid it sounds. As we slowly descend into a society where even our choice of words in scienctific research is an issue. Just wow.

Is it possible that women are different to men? It's certainly a thought.

Males have also been shown to enhance/ exaggerate/lie in professional settings about their own performance more often than women. Oddly enough, the same may be true when it comes to sexual performance. Many societies magnify the accomplishments of young males, regardless of task

Contrast this with Barrack Obama’s headline grabber saying women are better than men.

If the lead scientists are fooled by adjectives you all need to clean house and rehire. Sounds to me like the females in this study are better at their job..... results, not fancy words.......

Mmmm energy_Evy what do you think?
