Researchers float yearly paper quota: max 5 submissions per author to fix publishing
ziv_ravid · x · 2026-09-14
Amid exploding paper submission volumes, X user XYHan proposed a quota system: each author may submit at most 5 papers per year, with quotas potentially scaling with publication records and credentials. zivravid replied that while details are negotiable, restricting submissions per author "may be the only solution" to the publishing crisis.
The exchange captures growing community pushback against quantity-driven publication culture, though the feasibility of quotas remains contested.
