          Abstract

          The introduction of Abstracts to replace article summaries in 1990 recognized changes to linguistic reporting that have been apparent during the century. The 1970s showed a dramatic increase in the informal language used in article abstracts and summaries. The Journal of Experimental Medicine (JEM) demonstrates an increase in first‐person pronouns within article abstracts and summaries, but moves from singular to plural to represent the increase in multi‐authored research works. Linguistic changes during the century also include a greater focus on the future rather than the past, and an increase in language that indicates ‘clout’ which signifies author self‐confidence.
