The article discusses the establishment of a system to provide metrics and rank the academic value of social science research articles, authors, universities and other organizations. Information is presented on the way the metrics began to have real-world implications for career advancement and tenure, tempting individuals to manipulate these metrics by utilizing methods such as crafting software scripts to boost their metrics and employing graduate students to repeatedly download their papers. The article ends by asking if the prevalence of cheating within academia is a result of the pursuit of status within the intellectual hierarchy, or a consequence of 'gamification' infiltrating academics' lives, eliciting behavior patterns inherent to human nature?

A recent study examined the trend of authorship size in neuroscience and psychology research papers from the 1950s to the present. The study found that the average number of authors per paper has been increasing exponentially, reaching a record high of 10.4 authors in neuroscience and 4.8 authors in psychology in 2021. Single-authored papers have become rare, particularly in primary research papers, while group authorship has become more common. The increase in authorship size is attributed to various factors, including increased research complexity, collaboration benefits, government-funded research, changing norms in authorship practices, and biased incentives in evaluation. The study raises concerns about research reproducibility, innovation, equity/diversity, and ethics, calling for policy considerations to address potential negative consequences.

The Ammons papers in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections at Cornell University Library include 68 journals covering the years 1950 to the late 1970s, with a small number of items from the 1980s. In this article, the selection featured concludes in the early 1970s. Consisting mostly of correspondence, the journals provide considerable insight into Ammons' literary friendships, his relations with editors and publishers, his reading, his attitudes toward teaching and public readings, his growing consciousness of the meaning of having a career, and of course the development of his thinking about poetry. While the letters show the contours of Ammons' affiliations, they also make clear his singularity.
