Take a look at our latest publication in Adv. Mater. Interfaces @AdvPortfolio together with @BiophysLira @ZernikeInst @univgroningen @UofGChem @UofGlasgow onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

@KroekerMartin @davidmanheim @fake_journals @TokuraYoshiki @MicrobiomDigest The articles might still be useful. With reports like that I would assume that it is not hard to write lots per year

. 23 authors have published more than one article every day in 2024. We have just clicked over to 01 Nov 2024. That is, we have done 10 months of this year, which is 305 days. At various points during the year, we have looked at who has published a lot of papers, or "hyper productive authors" as we have called them. 1️⃣ The left hand side shows all the authors that have published more than 305 articles this year. That is they have published more than one article a day throughout 2024. The data comes from @Scopus and it includes all articles types. The #Scopus search term is 'PUBYEAR = 2024' and then we just took all the authors that had more than 305 articles. 2️⃣ When we have posted these type of posts in the past, we were criticised as we included all article types. We held the view that it's indexed in Scopus, so we included it. But we do recognise that some of the articles were "Letters" (for example) which may not be recognised as a "proper" article. We know, for example, that when QS Ranking extracts articles from Scopus, it disregards letters. So, we carried out another search that only looked at articles that were of type 'article'. The Scopus search term is 'PUBYEAR = 2024 AND ( LIMIT-TO ( DOCTYPE , "ar" ) )' The table on the right hand side shows this data. We have listed the same number of authors as shown in the left hand table. Nobody has published an 'article' every day in 2024, but not far from it. The top listed author (Tanihuchi) has published 269 "proper" articles. That is, 0.88 articles each day. Any thoughts, views, comments?

We’re so excited to launch the 4th round of applications for the JMS Scholarships! 12 Scholarships are available in any research area in which the University can offer supervision. Register your interest at: forms.office.com/e/WLa5FJWber #JMSPhD #WorldChangingGlasgow

@davidmanheim @fake_journals @TokuraYoshiki @MicrobiomDigest To me these papers look just like technical reports. Probably not too much science in there. Just reporting the results.

@fake_journals Lots of the authors on the left seem to be part of this collaboration, which seem to be automated research. Maybe @tokurayoshiki can explain? cc: @MicrobiomDigest

@JOC_OL @Fab_Dumoulin But why does the more recent article cite the old one then?

@Fab_Dumoulin Dear @Fab_Dumoulin, we are aware of the duplicate publication. The original article published in 2022 was intended to and is currently undergoing retraction since the corrections to that publication evolved into the 2024 article which supersedes it.

Applications are now open for @DiveIn_CDT, our groundbreaking interdisciplinary Centre for Doctoral Training. The Centre aims to bring together diverse teams to tackle interdisciplinary, mission-driven challenges at the forefront of research. More: divein.org.uk

Jean-Baptiste successfully defended his thesis today 🥂 Congratulations! Thanks to @SamJones_Lab and @wpeveler for examining. @UofGChem @UofGSciEng @UofGlasgow

Today we welcomed @SamJones_Lab who gave a talk on really exciting virucide polymers in the School! @UofGChem @UofGSciEng @UofGlasgow

🚨Registration for RAPS is still open until the 16th of August! Secure your place and submit an abstract here: raps.org.uk/raps-meetings #CometoDurham

We are thankful to @RoyalSocEd for supporting our research on degradable water-soluble polymers 🙏 @UofGChem @UofGSciEng @UofGlasgow

Have you enjoyed @Macro2024? Enjoyed the mixture of great science and social calendar? Well we think you will love RAPS! Our next meeting is @durham_uni 4-6th of September. Registration is open now! raps.org.uk/raps-meetings

It was a pleasure to present our work @Macro2024 this week! What a great conference! @UofGChem @UofGlasgow
