Abstract

The article focuses on the rewriting of medical research papers for layman. There is inconsistency on the view of science in popularized versions of research papers with that in the source article that scientists may feel disposed to write off. According to Greg Myers, the narrative of science of research papers and the narrative of nature in popular science articles work together to create the cultural authority of science.
