This rather depressing fact, from the work of academic Paula Stephan, is quoted in The Health of Science, a post by Dr Arturo Casadevall and Dr Ferric C Fang that calls for a reboot of the business of science. As they put it, “we call for nothing short of a major reformation of the scientific enterprise.” The piece is actually less a call to arms and more an astute analysis of the current, rather imperiled state of science. But maybe that’ll be enough to inspire people to action. Who knows?
