- R is not a readily measurable quantity for a given field. But we may have a sense of how large R is relatively for different fields. For example, field A is a subfield in physics that has very thorough background knowledge, with a small community, and the scientists have a good way of figuring out what hypotheses are important and should be tested. Field B is a subfield of genetics which has attracted a lot of attention recently and is still in the exploratory phase of finding fruitful relations. Which field has higher R? Field A.

According to our handouts, here is one of the examples: 3000 chocolate Bars which are considered countable numbers. Moreover, the final zeroes in a whole number are significant IF the unit of quantity is measurable like mass, temperature, length, current etc. Therefore, even the trailing numbers are counted as significant.
