When scientists disseminate their work to the general public, excessive use of jargon should be avoided because if too much technical language is used, the message is not effectively conveyed. However, determining which words are jargon and how much jargon is too much is a difficult task, partly because it can be challenging to know which terms the general public knows, and partly that it can be challenging to ensure scientific accuracy while avoiding esoteric terminology. To help address this issue, we have written an R script that an author can use to quantify the amount of scientific jargon in any written piece and make appropriate edits based on the target audience.

量化科学术语。

当科学家向公众传播他们的工作时，应避免过度使用行话，因为如果使用过多的技术语言，信息将无法有效传达。然而，确定哪些词是行话以及多少行话太多是一项艰巨的任务，部分原因是要知道公众知道哪些术语可能具有挑战性，部分原因是要确保科学准确性同时避免深奥的术语可能具有挑战性。为了帮助解决这个问题，我们编写了一个 R 脚本，作者可以使用它来量化任何书面文章中科学术语的数量，并根据目标受众进行适当的编辑。
