关于减少论文发表的呼吁
Plea to publish less
AI总结：
针对20世纪科学论文指数增长但新思想仅线性增长、科研病态化现象凸显的问题，本文呼吁减少论文发表，指出发文压力催生的诸多乱象正损害科研文化，并探讨了相关缓解途径。
摘要：
近期研究（Fort等人）表明，20世纪已发表科学论文的数量呈指数级增长，但新思想的数量仅随时间线性增长。19世纪及20世纪上半叶诞生了诸多重大科学发现，但从20世纪下半叶起，论文发表数量远超有影响力的发现数量。呈指数增长的论文发表数量是否意味着科研存在病态化倾向？大量发表论文的压力催生了论文过度产出、不必要的研究碎片化、成果过度包装、掠夺性期刊（付费即发表）、高明的剽窃手段，以及为了推销和过度包装而刻意混淆科研结果等现象。这正损害着以热情驱动研究的健康科研文化，是一个需要整个科学界关注的紧迫问题。本文还讨论了缓解这些严重问题的若干途径。
英文摘要：
Recent research\cite{fort} has shown that in the 20th century there is an exponential growth of the number of published scientific papers, but new ideas has only a linear growth with time. The 19th and the first half of the 20th century saw major scientific discoveries. But from the second half of the 20th century, the number of publications far exceeds the number of impactful discoveries. Does an exponentially growing number of publications indicate an element of pathological research? Pressure to publish a large number of papers has led to the phenomena of overproduction, unnecessary fragmentations, overselling, predatory journals (pay and publish), clever plagiarism, and deliberate obfuscation of scientific results so as to sell and oversell. This is harming the healthy scientific culture of passion driven research. It is an urgent problem which needs attention of the whole of the scientific community. Some ways to mitigate these grave problems are discussed.
