Researchers have developed a new system to quantitatively assess the difficulty of academic papers, focusing on the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). This system considers factors like collaboration, content, and references, assigning a research difficulty score using the entropy weight method. The study found that paper length, citation count, and the involvement of high-level institutions are linked to academic impact, and that moderately difficult research tends to achieve the greatest impact.
