How to stop salami science: promotion of healthy trends in publishing behavior

ORCID Icon
Pages 33-48 | Published online: 26 Dec 2018
 

ABSTRACT

The career of scientists often depends on the number of their published works. This fact leads to the overproduction of low-quality papers burying the important articles and making the knowledge less accessible. One of the methods to counteract these negative aspects might lie in the promotion of healthy trends in publishing behavior. In the present work, the theoretical analysis of a new bibliometric measure is presented, and its potential impact on the publishing strategies is carefully discussed.
