Pressure to publish jumps. And researchers have no time to do science.
(New survey from Elsevier)
Survey of 3200 researchers:
1. Only 45% of scientists have sufficient time for actual research.
2. For 68%, the pressure to publish today is greater than 2-3 years ago.
3. 29% of researchers are considering relocating to another country (for better funding, work‐life balance, or greater research freedom).
4. 58% of researchers use AI tools in their work.
5. Reported benefits from AI: saving time (58%), helping with literature summaries (61%), literature reviews (51%), data analysis (38%), drafting proposals (41%), and drafting papers (38%).
