Scientific literature plagued by "salami publication" due to administrative pressures

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This item discusses the issue of "salami publication" in scientific literature, where research is fragmented into numerous small papers to maximize publication counts. The author suggests that the underlying cause is the administrative pressure on researchers to publish frequently, leading to a "publish or perish" and "publish and perish" dynamic for both individuals and research itself. The piece references a 2019 article that uses the term "salami publication" but not in the context of AI. AI
