Reactions to textual content posted in an online social net- work show different dynamics depending on the linguistic style and readability of the submitted content. Do similar dy- namics exist for responses to scientific articles? Our intuition, supported by previous research, suggests that the success of a scientific article depends on its content, rather than on its linguistic style. In this article, we examine a corpus of sci- entific abstracts and three forms of associated reactions: ar- ticle downloads, citations, and bookmarks. Through a class- based psycholinguistic analysis and readability indices tests, we show that certain stylistic and readability features of ab- stracts clearly concur in determining the success and viral ca- pability of a scientific article.
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic
(which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments.
It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions.
The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager
like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
