Older scientists publish more papers

摘要

If the mind is the first to go, it doesn't seem to show up in the bibliography. A new study suggests that older scientists publish more than their younger counterparts. A research team from the University of Quebec in Montreal, Canada, looked at the publication record of nearly 14,000 professors and found that those in their 50s and 60s published almost twice as many papers each year as those in their early 30s.
