What you’re describing is essentially an arms race in quantity. Yes, we can use tools to help sort, but those same tools can also be used to deluge the inbox and obfuscate the bad. In fact, one of the best ways to sort is by using specific journals/journal metrics as a proxy for quality. That is much, much easier (and productive) than trying to sort based on some Google scholar advanced query. For example, it's much easier for a journal to retract an article that was shown an inability to replicate than to create a search to do the same. The tone of your comment is very techno-optimist, which is very on brand for HN. In that view, every problem is solved by technology, even those that are created by technology. I would argue there are some problems that are better solved with less technology, not more.
