Junior biomedical researchers have long assumed that their hirings and promotions depend 
significantly on the amount of their published work.  

eople responsible for making hiring and 
promotion decisions in the biomedical research field, however, are influenced much more by 
the overall impact that a candidate's scientific publications have on his or her field than by the 
number of those publications.
The information above, if accurate, argues most strongly against which of the following claims?
A. Even biomedical researchers who are just beginning their careers are expected already to 
have published articles of major significance to the field.
B. Contributions to the field of biomedical research are generally considered to be significant 
only if the work is published.
C. The potential scientific importance of not-yet-published work is sometimes taken into 
account in decisions regarding the hiring or promotion of biomedical researchers.
D. People responsible for hiring or promoting biomedical researchers can reasonably be 
expected to make a fair assessment of the overall impact of a candidate's publications on his or 
her field.
E. Biomedical researchers can substantially increase their chances of promotion by 
fragmenting their research findings so that they are published in several journals instead of 
one
