The number of researchers publishing over 60 papers a year has quadrupled in the past decade, with Saudi Arabia and Thailand experiencing the most significant increases. This surge raises concerns about questionable research practices and potential fraud. The growth is most prominent in clinical medicine, with agriculture, fisheries, and forestry exhibiting the fastest expansion in extremely productive researchers. Some attribute this trend to changes in research funding and incentives, while others worry about the implications for research quality. Authorities in Thailand are investigating researchers with unusually prolific publication records and cases of suspected authorship fraud.
