It is universally acknowledged in academia that the world needs fewer better papers -- fewer inconsequential micro-advances where the aim is to help careers, not society. How do we solve this collective action problem? www.nature.com/articles/d41... richardtol.substack.com/p/quality-vs...

I’m going to halve my publication output. You should consider slow science, too

If we don’t slow down, the research enterprise is going to crash, argues Adrian Barnett.
