@zerobuoyancy The proportion of publications that report micro-advances that would have been better placed in the Supporting Material of another paper has grown substantially. The MPU (Minimum Publishable Unit) is asymptotically approaching zero. https:/

@lessin Indeed. Should we start running through tenured folks and assess what mediocre scholarship really looks like?What inflated citations look like? When we really understand academia, we understand how laughably this opinion piece is cheddar bobbing...

@jwoLondon @FILWD Also: I don't accept that researchers today are having 5-10x the number of good ideas as researchers 30 years ago. So I conclude that quality in some form must be diminishing. https://t.co/W2m6sJ1EHk

The number of published research papers is increasing exponentially. (The dip after 2014 is an artifact due to the fact that the dataset is from 2016). As a result, researchers have to be very efficient and selective when reading papers. https://t.co/vTEJ6

Not just Goodhart's law - this is a beautiful if unintended illustration of Shorrock's law of limits, which is that limits become targets. You can clearly see how journals started introducing different word limits, some at each 50-word mark, in the 1990s.
