  Wow, I read the link - it's even worse than I thought. After 21 years in orbit, so few scientific papers, and almost none in top tier publications. What a colossal waste of money for so few results! Sorry to point out that the emperor has no clothes - I realize that HN is the home of scifi fanbois. (For example, prestigious publications have single-digit article counts, while ones I don't recognize have two-digit article counts. So almost all of the ISS papers were not high-quality enough to make it into a real journal, and divided by 21 years, most counts round off to zero. As I said - and I want my taxes back.)

  Interesting, thanks for posting this! This amounts to a bit more than one peer-reviewed publication for every four days since the first ISS segment launched in 1998. (2157 publications total through March 2019) More than 170 of those papers have been published in the top 100 journals in the clarivate analytics ranking. (Independent ranking used by a large number of universities) Their top paper has been cited 582 times. (Context: For many top journals, average number of times a paper has been cited is ~5).
