  1. A recent Journal of Informetrics study shows – There is no universal number of “too many authors.”

    In some fields, 3–6 may already be unusual.
    In medicine – dozens are common.
    In physics – large teams are often the norm.

    Yes, #hyperauthorship can signal problems (e.g., honorary authorship, metric inflation). But the key question is not “how many authors?” 👉 it is: Is this abnormal for this field and time?

  6. Team is coding around the increasingly problematic citations from CERN:
    6000 co-authors.

    Librarians around the world must be forming support groups?

  16. How hyperauthorship - more than 100 authors on a scientific paper - is challenging the definition and 'coin' of scientific authorship.
    For all the logistical challenges associated with large author lists, it may also be addressing long-standing under-recognition of scientific contributions.
