I don't have access so I can't see the paper this story is about to get the details, but couldn't this at least partially be reflecting that the more jargon-heavy papers are simply more niche and less broadly applicable and thus citation-worthy?
Okay I read the paper. And... yeah, I still have the same concern! The authors are more or less ignoring the fact that many, many scientific papers are simply not intended to be widely read outside of extremely specialized fields.
These "highly cited" papers that have no jargon in the title or abstract -- they are probably highly cited because they are interesting across scientific disciplines, and that means they probably don't need highly specialized jargon!
Anyway I'm not saying the findings are wrong or that jargon is good just that I wish authors who think themselves clever enough to start and end their paper with references to Wittgenstein think a little harder about the claims they're making.

Around 10 percent of the 800,000 strokes in the US every year are in people under 45. That’s 80,000 of them every year.
How can one man enjoy being wrong this much.
And by the way, since Berenson would probably shout about how he specifically was talking about dying or becoming paralyzed from a stroke: here's a 2014 study showing that around 13% of young survivors of stroke still can't function on their own. ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/ST…
And if it's just deaths he's concerned about -- here's another study showing more than 10% mortality within 30 days for young stroke patients.
Deb Haaland confirmed as Secretary of the Interior, 51-40.
Fun fact, DOI manages around one-fifth of all the land in the United States. It is called "public land," which certainly has some historical baggage, and now the first Native American in the Cabinet is in charge.
Haaland succeeds David Bernhardt, a fossil fuel enthusiast described as a "walking conflict of interest," and Ryan Zinke, who tried to silence DOI officials worried about climate change's effects on Native communities. So.
A thing I've been thinking about is how the US no longer appears capable of what is generally considered "national trauma." Like, post 9/11 or JFK assassination you had this general, collective grief, manifested in things like enormously high presidential approval ratings.
But more than half a million Americans have died of COVID, and there's barely a hint of collective grief.
Which is not surprising when a decent chunk of the country and the leaders that chunk exalts have spent the entire year more or less denying the tragedy's existence.
"For perpetrators, the memory of trauma poses a threat to collective identity that may be addressed by denying history, minimizing culpability for wrongdoing, transforming the memory of the event, closing the door on history, or accepting responsibility."
This study from researchers @Grantham_IC and elsewhere found that solar geoengineering could increase number of El Nino/Nina events, with some changes in magnitude. The selling point is that they ran the model for 1000 years, rather than just ~50. BUT...
...I am not so sure that running a model where the geoengineering portion -- ie, a dimming of the sun's energy in the stratosphere -- is continuous over that whole period is that relevant? The idea in real life would be to use it briefly while emissions are lowered, right?
One of the study authors took the results to mean something pretty definitive about geoengineering, which is almost certainly true but also not really justified by these results.
