Hyper Productive Authors
We are going to take a look at
#HyperProductiveAuthors.
Here are some thoughts to get us started:
⭕️The image shows a
@Nature news item by
@gvconroy. You can see the full article at
nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
⭕️We have looked at this area before but, unfortunately, never hash tagged them so that they could be grouped together.
As an example, we have tweeted about Sayed Mohamed Eldin and we'll certainly take another look at this hyper productive author in the near future.
You can see some of our previous posts on Eldin by following this link:

⭕️It would be interesting to know what you think of hyper productive authors.
Q: If somebody is publishing (say) one paper a week, is that necessarily, or always, a bad thing?
Or to put the question another way,
Q: Is it possible to publish one paper a week in a way that would be considered ethical/acceptable?
⭕️There are more articles in the peer reviewed scientific literature on this topic that we'll feature some of these as this mini series of posts unfolds. If you know of any articles, please let us know.
⭕️For the purposes of these posts, we'll use the measure that a hyper productive author is somebody who publishes more than one paper a week, so about 50 a year.
We won't be too beholden to that figure else we'll start getting into debates about work days, weekends, public holidays etc. So, let's go with about 50 papers a year as a rough measure but let's not not get too focused on the numbers as an absolute measure.
⭕️If you have any ideas for authors that we should take a look at, please let us know.
The more information you can provide the better. For example, their Google Scholar profile, their full name, their institution, a sample paper etc. If you don't want to comment here, then please DM us.
⭕️As we have done above, we'll tag each of these posts with the hashtag
#HyperProductiveAuthors, so that we can find them again.
We hope you find this series of posts interesting.
