What is the meaning of 'a couple dozen' in the sentence Both studies found fewer than a couple dozen articles that met standards of rigor as defined by the Washington Institute on Public Policy?

A dozen is twelve, or an unspecified number, so acouple (of) dozen is (about) two dozens, i.e. approximately twenty four, but not necessarily exactly that number. The expression 'a couple dozen', with the 'of' omitted, is considered sloppy grammar. The usual expression is 'a couple of dozen.' Example sentences:* "We have received a couple of dozen applications for that new job." * "Pentane ... contains only five carbon atoms while others may have a couple of dozen carbons joined in a chain."
