    Hilariously enough, the co-author quoted in this article co-authored over 70 papers in 2023. That’s well above the 60 paper/year metric they are using to determine what qualifies as “extremely productive”.

    While I agree that academia puts far too much emphasis on quantity of publications rather than quality, this is a mind-numbing level of hypocrisy.
