Someone actually went ahead and called their journal “Nature Cell and Science” because they know people will submit their work there so that they can say they’ve published in Nature Cell and Science 🤦♂️

Based on many despairing comments on twitter, one simple thing which @UKRI_News could do to improve the lives of UK scientists and the productivity of UK science is to scrap the use of Researchfish

New Nature paper provides evidence that science has become less innovative since the 1950s. The authors suggest reversing the trend by:
1. reading widely,
2. focusing less on quantity of papers, & more on research quality,
3. taking year-long sabbaticals.
