问题 Text 3 If you're tired of swiping left and right to approve or reject the faces of other people,try something else:rating scientific papers.A web application inspired by the dating app Tinder lets you make snap judgments about preprints-papers published online before peer review-simply by swiping left,right,up,or down.Papr brands itself as"Tinder for preprints"and is almost as superficial as the matchmaker.For now,you only get to see abstracts,not the full papers,and you have to rate them in one of four categories:"exciting and probable,""exciting and questionable,""boring and probable,"or"boring and questionable."Papr co-creator Jeff Leek,a biostatistician at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health,released an earlier version of Papr late last year but only started publicizing the app on social media earlier this month after his colleagues added a few more features,including a recommendation engine that suggests studies based on your preferences,an option to download your ratings along with links to the full preprints on bioRxiv,and suggestions for Twitter users with similar tastes as yours.What we want is to help researchers navigate the overwhelming number ofnew papers and uncover interdisciplinary overlap,Leek says.Scientists already use social media to discover new papers,he says;Papr aims to simplify that process and capture people's evaluations along the way.Four rating categories is enough,Leek says;other services,including PubPeer,offer space for longer comments and discussions.To prevent readers from giving their rivals'papers bad ratings or rate a paper as interesting just because it was written by a famous scientist,Papr doesn't show author names and doesn't let you search for a specific preprint or author."For me,the importance of Papr is illustrating that preprint services like bioRxiv enable novel methods of evaluation to emerge,"says Brian Nosek,executive director of the Center for Open Science in Charlottesville,Virginia."We don't believe that the data we are collecting is any kind of realistic peer review,but it does tell us something about the types of papers people find interesting and what leads them to be suspicious,"Leek says."Ultimately we hope to correlate this data with information about where the papers are published and other more in-depth measurements of paper quality."But don't take Papr too seriously,because its developers don't."This app is provided solely for entertainment of the scient讯c community and may be taken down at any time with no notice because Jeff gets tired ofit,"the Papr website says.32.According to Leek,the goal of Papr is toA.find similar Tweeter users.B.replace social medias to find new papers.C.ease the papers search and get them rated.D.provide more papers to users.

选项 A.find similar Tweeter users.
B.replace social medias to find new papers.
C.ease the papers search and get them rated.
D.provide more papers to users.

答案 C

解析事实细节题。根据题干定位到文章第四段，第四段提到“里克说到，我们的目标是帮助研究者浏览大量的新论文，并发现在学科上有交叉重叠的论文。科学家们已经在使用社交媒体来发现新论文，而Papr旨在简化那一过程，并一路收集人们的评价”，由这句话很容易能找到答案，Papr软件的目标是让论文搜索更方便，并对论文进行评价。故选C项。【干扰排除】A项未在文中提及，可排除；B项，“代替社交媒体来发现新论文”，文中第四段第二句提到“科学家们已经在使用社交媒体来发现新论文”，并非代替社交媒体，故排除；D项文中无依据，故排除。
