In less than a decade, the number of researchers pumping out more than 60 papers a year has almost quadrupled. Saudi Arabia and Thailand saw the sharpest uptick in the number of such scientists over the past few years, according to a study published on 24 November. The increase in these 'extremely productive' authors raises concerns that some researchers are resorting to dubious methods to publish extra papers. "I suspect that questionable research practices and fraud may underlie some of the most extreme behaviours," says study co-authorjohn Ioannidis, a physician specializing in metascience at Stanford University in California. "Our data provide a starting point for discussing these issues across all science." Ioannidis and his colleagues examined articles, reviews and conference papers indexed in the Scopus database between 2000 and 2022. They excluded physics authors, who tend to publish large numbers of papers because authorship practices in this field differ from those of other subjects. The researchers tracked how extremely productive authorship haschanged over time in variouscountries and fields (see 'Hyper-productive fields').
