Survey of Active Verbs in the Titles of Clinical Trial Reports

Goodman, Neville W.

BMJ (Online), 04/2000, Volume: 320, Issue: 7239

Journal Article

2 Weiss objected to an "overly optimistic" title beginning "Improved survival ..." from a pilot study using historical controls. 3 According to the popperian model, hypotheses cannot be proved but only supported or rejected, and then only to an arbitrary level of statistical significance. The BMJ is thus designed that most of the messages it contains can be extracted within 15 minutes-with subheadings in editorials, TWIBs, active verbs in news stories, boxes on what original studies add, summary boxes in review articles, and declarative titles in all letters.
