问题     In recent years, a trend has emerged in the behavioral sciences toward
shorter and more rapid published journal articles. These articles are often 1. ______
only a third length of a standard paper, often describe only a single study 2.______
and tend to include smaller data sets. Shorter formats are promoted by
many journals, and limits on article length are stringent — in many cases 3.______
low as 2,000 words.
    This shift is partly a result of the pressure that academics now feel to
generate measurable output. Thanks to the cold calculus of "publish or 4. ______
perish," in that success is often gauged by counting citations, three short 5. ______
articles can be more preferable to a single longer one. 6.______
    But some researchers contend that the trend toward short articles is also
better for science. Such "bite size" science, they argue, encourages results
to be communicated faster, writing more concisely and read by editors and 7.______
researchers more easily, leading to a more lively exchange of ideas.
    In a 2010 article, the psychologist Nick Haslam demonstrated
empirically that, when adjusted for length, short articles are cited more
frequently than other articles. Professor Haslam concluded that long 8._____
articles seem "more efficient in generating scientific influence" and
suggested that journals can consider adopting short-article formats. 9.______
    However, the rise of bite-size science is worrisome. We urge that
editors demand more replication of unexpected findings and that the
importance that the academic community gives to quality of citations be 10.______
balanced with a greater awareness of potential publication bias.
    Until then, bite-size science will be hard to swallow.  [br]
选项
答案 quality——quantity
解析 本题为名词误用。两个名词形似义异。quality表示质量，quantity表示数量。根据文章意思，目前学术界的趋势是以文章被引用的次数多少决定成败，而非质量，故用后者。
