From 2016 to 2020, almost one-third of papers by authors in China had multiple corresponding authors — but policy reforms are expected to have dampened the trend.

Between 2016 and 2020, researchers based in China were up to nine times more likely to list multiple corresponding authors on a paper than were academics in other countries, according to a new analysis.

An analysis of citation patterns of more than 12.5 million scientists who published 3 or more scholarly works between 1960 and 2020 reveals that scientists are less likely to produce disruptive research as they get older.

Older scientists are less likely to be performing disruptive research as they’re likely already building on the disruptive work they did in their youth.

As Elsevier sues Meta over AI, other scholarly publishers are keeping a watchful eye
Some publishers have instead pursued licensing deals with AI companies for training large language models: cen.acs.org/policy/publi...

The preprint server is the latest to impose stiff penalties on authors who contribute to AI ‘slop’ — but not everyone is convinced it’s the right approach.
Analysis poses tough questions on who should receive more funding - younger researchers or older ones?
