Scott's take:
> NO. JUST NO.
- melling 4y agoThere are over 20 names on that paper. That is unusual?
- computerphage 4y agoI don't know why you're downvoted. I think it's not unusual given the field. Certainly some fields have much larger average number of authors than others
- 77pt77 4y agoThis is not experimental particle physics, where CERN just publishes everyone in CMS or ATLAS. Apparently the most recent ones just mention the * Collaboration, but I distinctively remember seeing papers with hundreds of names in the author list.
- moffkalast 4y agoIn academia? No. Everyone and their mom will add their name to any paper they can to get references.
- stephc_int13 4y agoYeah, and this is a as bad as it sounds. A pyramidal scheme, nothing less.
