Ethicists Write Longer Papers Poll
By S. Matthew Liao

On why ethicists tend to write longer papers, Saul Smilansky has proposed the following hypothesis:

1. Do many people NOT write short papers because they believe that (with the exception of Analysis) the journals insist on longer papers?

Do you have this perception? Do vote and let us know. I’m creating this post so that people are aware that there is a new poll. Please continue the discussion at Saul’s original post. Thanks!

Do you tend to write longer ethics papers because you have the perception that journals prefer longer papers? [See ‘Why do ethicists write such longer papers?’ for the discussion]

    I think this poll stimulates us to write shorter new papers, but I think there should be an antecedent question like “do you prefer to write short or long papers?”
