We’re going to penalize people for publishing too mucn now? Really?
Just want to say that I love Issac Asimov and he wrote a lot of high quality work and people even say that he’s a graphomaniac with a writing compulsion.
I think people’s work should be judged by the output quality not some sort of speed limiting judgment.

There is a difference between being prolific and what those people put out. At least one order of magnitude. Isaac Asimov did not write 80 novels each year.
- Xelynega 2y agoIsaac Asimov wroted/edited ~500 books over his life. Some of the people mentioned in the research are coauthoring ~200 paper a year. I don't think Isaac would be in the same league as those mentioned in this paper.
- robertlagrant 2y agoIsaac Asimov's work was judged by how many people published it, and how many people bought it. There's no equivalent quality control for these papers; it's much more the honour system.
- staticman2 2y agoThis is more like criticizing Asimov for allowing a magazine to be published called "Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine" where he was not the editor and it was not his magazine.
