When less is more: with the runaway train of #scientificpublishing under increasing strain, Prof @aidybarnett.bsky.social argues in @nature.com that slowing down is critical to avoid system collapse. This year, he plans to halve his publication output.

🔎 Would you consider #slowscience?
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.

A new story in @nature.com investigates an AI tool developed by #AusHSI Prof @aidybarnett.bsky.social and colleagues to scan and flag cancer research publications that are likely to be fake, a similar process to filtering spam e-mails.
An AI tool that scans manuscript titles and abstracts has flagged more than 250,000 cancer studies that bear textual similarities to articles that are known to have been produced by paper mills

Low quality papers are flooding the cancer literature — can this AI tool help to catch them?
A large language model scans abstracts and titles for signs that an article was produced by a 'paper-mill' company.
