“millions of scientific publications every year.
Isn’t that a problem in itself?”
What, that there are millions of scientific pubs, and perhaps 20,000 fraudulent ones?
Hardly cause for concern because most get caught later when nobody can replicate the results.
The problem is if you are looking for knowledge you have a million articles to plow through.
No not a million, hundreds of millions to plow through with a million new every year.
