A legibilidade de uma revista de divulgação científica é um problema central das
comissões editoriais, dos revisores e em especial dos leitores. O vocabulário de cada
artigo relaciona-se em larga medida com as palavras-chave próprias de cada área
científica, contudo a legibilidade também depende de outros factores. Neste artigo
apresentam-se métricas de legibilidade que são função do comprimento das palavras e
do comprimento das frases. Propõe-se que as métricas de legibilidade sejam balizadas
por um limite superior e por um limite inferior. Finalmente, encontra-se uma relação
entre as duas métricas, com base nos dados extraídos dos artigos publicados na RCC.
The readability of a scientific review is a very important issue for the editorial committees, for the reviewers and especially for the readers. The vocabulary of each article is largely related to the keywords of the specific scientific area; however, the readability depends also on other factors. In this article we present two readability metrics that are based on the length of the words and on the length of the sentences. We propose that the readability metrics must be bounded by a superior limit and an inferior limit. Finally, the correlation between the two metrics is presented, given the data extracted from the articles published in the RCC.
