Around 20,000 scientists are publishing an "implausibly high" number of papers, according to a new analysis.

My latest for @cenmag: https://t.co/hCc1VU3Yaw

Time to try something new!

How many papers are too many?
Peter Mora and I have uncovered and detailed and troubling trend.

Universities should cease glorifying those who prioritize quantity over quality and relinquishing their autonomy to the demands of university rankings!

"A proposed framework to address metric inflation in research publications."

[Simone Pilia @simo_pilia]

@fake_journals Unfortunately, that is the trend. Peter Mora and I have just explored that trend, and propose a way to remove the incentive to pursue research quantity over quality. See our preprint at:

Wow, the discovery of the first unequivocal "ghost" plume beneath eastern Oman - the Dani plume!
The Dani plume is not alone. There are more ghost plumes concealed beneath continents, possibly beneath Africa. @EarthsEngine

📢Postdoc opportunity in seismology!
Keen to uncover the mantle dynamics beneath Iceland? Keen to work on ocean bottom seismic data?
Sergei Lebedev and myself offer this in Cambridge https://t.co/LGzDuuTTPb
Please share!

Excellent work from Hao Hu just published in JGR.
Hao has obtained fantastic tomographic images beneath North Sumatra, and was able to image a significant window in the subducting slab. #subduction #tomography

@aboveeg @valemercurii The figure illustrates a lithospheric drip developed, after subduction termination, from the root of the volcanic arc.

@erikharold Hahaha that made me laugh!! Super!

Ever wanted to plot/interrogate plate reconstructions in #Python but daunted by the steep learning curve? GPlately is here for you! We’ve been working hard to make a high-level interface to pyGPlates that’s easy to use. Check out the paper 👇

Guess what, I'm back in the Middle-East! I have just joined KFUPM in Dhahran with a faculty position.
