论文摘要
最近的研究\ cite {fort}表明，在20世纪，发表的科学论文数量呈指数增长，但是新思想随着时间的推移而有线性增长。 19世纪的19世纪和上半叶看到了重大的科学发现。但是从20世纪下半叶开始，出版物的数量远远超过了有影响力的发现数量。指数增长的出版物是否表明了病理研究的元素？发表大量论文的压力导致了生产过多，不必要的破碎，过度销售，掠夺性期刊（付款和发表），聪明的窃和故意混淆科学结果，以便出售和超卖科学成果。这正在损害热情驱动研究的健康科学文化。这是一个紧迫的问题，需要整个科学界的关注。讨论了一些减轻这些严重问题的方法。
Recent research\cite{fort} has shown that in the 20th century there is an exponential growth of the number of published scientific papers, but new ideas has only a linear growth with time. The 19th and the first half of the 20th century saw major scientific discoveries. But from the second half of the 20th century, the number of publications far exceeds the number of impactful discoveries. Does an exponentially growing number of publications indicate an element of pathological research? Pressure to publish a large number of papers has led to the phenomena of overproduction, unnecessary fragmentations, overselling, predatory journals (pay and publish), clever plagiarism, and deliberate obfuscation of scientific results so as to sell and oversell. This is harming the healthy scientific culture of passion driven research. It is an urgent problem which needs attention of the whole of the scientific community. Some ways to mitigate these grave problems are discussed.
