Relation of title length to number of authors in journal articles

Author

  • T. D. C. Kuch

Abstract

The number of authors of papers in four scientific journals is positively correlated with the number of significant words in the titles of the same papers. A fifth journal showed no correlation. Implications for information retrieval are explored and tentative explanations are offered.
