Yes, but... I wouldn't 100% judge the work based on authorship, but it definitely makes me think twice when Toxicology research is published by a computer scientist. It makes me wonder even more when that work is published by Americans in a Slovakian Toxicology journal. And when it's published by two people who have published work of questionable quality in the past... I think those are decent heuristics to flag this work as having a higher probability of being flawed. Sure, it's not 100% objective, and all scientific literature should probably be looked at through the same critical lens. I'm not a toxicology researcher, and I don't have time to thoroughly investigate the claims of the work. This is enough of a heuristic for me to say "hmmmm, not going to make any life changing decisions based on this work until there's more data from other people"
