Research Paper Definitions

It has long been known that ...

I haven't bothered to look up the original reference

... of great theoretical and practical importance

... interesting to me

While it has not been possible to provide definite answers to these questions.

The experiments didn't work out, but I figured I could at least get a publication out of it.

The W-Pb system was chosen as especially suitable to show thepredicted behavior ...

The fellow in the next lab had some already made up

High purity ... Very high purity ... Extremely high purity ... Super-purity ... Spectroscopically pure ...

Composition unknown except for the exaggerated claims of the supplier

A fiducial reference line ...

A scratch

Three of the samples were chosen for detailed study ...

The results of the others didn't make sense and were ignored ...

... handled with extreme care during the experiments

...not dropped on the floor

Typical results are shown ...

The best results are shown ...

Although some detail has been lost in reproduction, it is clear from theoriginal micrograph that ...

It is impossible to tell from the micrograph

Presumably at longer times ...

I didn't take the time to find out

The agreement with the predicted curve is excellent

fair

good

poor

satisfactory

doubtful

fair

imaginary

... as good as could be expected

non-existent

These results will be reported at a later date

I might get around to this sometime

The most reliable values are those of Jones

He was a student of mine

It is suggested that ... It is believed that ... It may be that ...

I think ...

It is generally believed that ...

I have such a good objection to this answer that I shall now raise.

It is clear that much additional work will be required before a complete understanding ...

I don't understand it

Unfortunately, a quantitative theory to account for these effects has not been formulated

Neither does anybody else

Correct within an order of magnitude

Wrong

It is to be hoped that this work will stimulate further work in the field.

This paper isn't very good but neither are any of the others on this miserable subject.

Thanks are due to Joe Glotz for assistance with the experiments and to John Doe for valuable discussions.

Glotz did the work and Doe explained what it meant.
