Evaluation 1 of "Stagnation and Scientific Incentives"

Author

Abstract

I think this paper raises an excellent point, but lacks sufficient support of its claims. I think the most important aspect of this paper is its overall ethos to do right by science, but struggles in terms of accuracy, novelty, and generalizability---all of which are discussed further in my report below.
