22 people have published more than 200 papers in 2024 (so far, we still have another six months to go)
We have been doing some research on another project and saw something that we found interesting. We'd be interested to know what you think.
In 2024, 22 authors (according to @Scopus) have published over 200 papers. The table below shows the details (we decided not to show author names at this time).
The author who has published the most papers has authored 261 papers (as at 15 Jun 2024) meaning that he/she has published 1.56 papers every day this year (and counting).
If we exclude weekends (everybody has to rest, right?), then they have published 2.18 papers every day.
Serious question: Is it possible for anybody to contribute in a meaningful way (at least to warrant being at author) when they are publishing a paper every day?

European Intellectual History since Nietzsche, my advisor's extremely popular course at Yale, is now available on YouTube. I particularly recommend Lectures 11-12, 17-18, 23-24. The Heidegger Controversy lecture (#24) is particularly memorable.

I find this book rather interesting, mostly, I suspect, because it's about the kind of linguistics that I had no interest in at all, nor the kind I was particularly keen to read; it's all vicarious

A monumental day for #Shanghai. Not so much for the old Shanghai Club, whose Long Bar was chopped up to serve those finger lickin’ good delights.
Who remembers when KFC was in the Shanghai Club?
