Scientific advances sometimes come as lightning flashes of inspiration. But when scientists sit down to record and take credit of what they’ve found, they still use much the same method they have for decades—an article published in a scholarly journal.
But science’s old-fashioned traditions are changing. The Internet has opened up new forms of publishing in which anyone in the world can find and read a scientific paper. And papers themselves are becoming more interactive, leading readers to the underlying data, videos, and discussions that augment their value. With blogs and e-books providing easy means of self-publishing, some observers are speculating that scholarly journals and their controversial system of peer reviews may not be needed at all.
"The traditional journal publishing medium we’ve grown accustomed to really needs to evolve and change because that’s not the way people are accessing information," says Mark Gerstein, a professor of biomedical informatics at Yale University in New Haven, Conn. Dr. Gerstein cowrote an article, "The Death of the Scientific Paper," which appeared last year on The-Scientist. com, an online science magazine.
If the hopes of innovators bear fruit, scientific advances will come ever more quickly as online publishing makes past research easier to access and share widely. One new scientific publication, available only online, may signal what’s ahead. The PLoS ONE (plosone. org), a journal begun by the Public Library of Science (PLoS) last month, aims to put as many new scientific articles as possible on the Internet to be read by anyone, free of charge.
At PLoS ONE, which aspires to be a general science journal along the lines of Science and Nature, the papers themselves are only a starting point. Readers can annotate, comment on, and criticize the findings: Their contributions become permanently attached to the original article. At least one commentator has likened this process to a kind of "electronic Talmud" in which the original document receives elaborate commentary and discussion that over time adds greatly to its value.
In coming months, says Chris Surridge, the managing editor of PLoS ONE, readers also will be able to rate papers on their quality, such as how surprising or groundbreaking the results were— much in the way Netflix subscribers rate movies they rent using one-to five-star ratings. In this sense, PLoS ONE is moving toward a Web 2. 0 model, which focuses on user-generated content strategies already used by websites such as Digg. com, Slashdot. org, or Amazon. com.
If the dreams of inventors come true,________.
选项
A、it will be easier to find and read a scientific paper
B、people can better enjoy the fruit of scientific advances
C、the past research will become out of fashion
D、progress in science will speed up by online publishing
答案
D
解析
本题是细节题。根据题干定位至第四段首句。该句指出If the hopes of innovators bear fruit, scientific advances will come ever more quickly as online publishing makes past research easier to access and share widely (如果发明者的梦想变成现实,科学的进步将会越来越快,因为在线出版使得过去的研究更容易获取和广泛分享),故答案选D。文章第二段提到The Internet has opened up new forms of publishing in which anyone in the world can find and read a scientific paper(互联网开辟了新的出版形式,世界上任何人都可以找到并阅读科学论文),并且A项中提到的“更容易”,故排除;B项是对第四段首句中bear fruit(变成现实)的错误理解,故排除;作者提到以前的研究会更容易获取并可以广泛共享,但并没有说是过时的,故排除C项。
