Some of these measures are not really convincing, most obvious Nobel prices/paper, the rate of Nobel prices/year is fixed so when the number of papers goes up, the rate of publications that get a Nobel goes down.
- adamc 4y agoYeah, some of the measures were curious, such as unique keywords per 10,000 papers. It isn't clear to me what we should expect if science was doing fine -- more unique keywords total, yes, but per 10,000 papers? Why? In general, I think the paper needs a stronger argument about what a null hypothesis should be and why that is violated.
