These researchers compared the publish rates of Stanford Top 2% scientists with comparable Nobel laureates and the rate of publishing among the anomalous researchers was ludicrously higher than their peers at the top of their game - "up to 212 publications per year, and 5792 new coauthors per year, compared to up to 28.3 publications per year and 173 new coauthors per year on NL [nobel laureates]".
Do you have any reason to believe the T2 group is composed of "older established scientists" who are "much more advantaged" than the group of Nobel Laureates? To the tune of 10x the number of publications and 33x coauthorships?
- seydor 2y ago> reason to believe the T2 group is composed of "older established scientists" there were 1000 academics with < 10 years of career and 19000 with more (in the inflators list). I did not compare their advantage to the nobel scientists but to the younger ones. (Also the nobel laureates are extreme outliers who don't need any more citations to satisfy their ego or funding needs)
