"Back In 2018 Professor Bendell authored a dramatic piece warning that it is now too late to stop a future collapse... Three years have passed and climatic collapse signs are becoming more visible each year. Recently Belgium and Germany saw their rivers destroying thousands of buildings and killing many people. The Chinese city of Zhengzhou saw a year´s worth of rain in just three days. In June Canada broke its temperature record (49.6 ºC) and in July Finland just saw its hottest night ever. And let´s not forget that this is just the Earth at 1.1-1.3 ºC warmer. Moreover its worth remembering that Central Banks are forcing banks and insurers to stress tests that must model a catastrophic 4 ºC warmer world. https://pacheco-torgal.blogspot.com/2020/06/the-economistsustainable-stress-tests.html Its therefore rather obvious that mitigation efforts will not be enough and that urgent measures must be taken to adapt the built environment to climate emergency..."

A pergunta que interessa fazer sobre a insolvência da Dielmar
When will Clarivate Analytics realize that his flawed list of "star" scientists can´t be fixed ?

Secondly, has it was recently mentioned by an Estonian researcher that his country just saw a sudden drop of almost twofold – from 17 to 9 of its highly cited scientists (HCRs) just because last year Clarivate removed the HCRs who had too many papers with more than 30 affiliations. But why 30 affiliations ? Why not 25 or even 20 ?
Moreover that removal does not solve the problem of highly cited authors who still has a high number of papers with hundreds of co-authors from less than 30 affiliations. When will Clarivate Analytics realize that his flawed list of "star" scientists can´t be fixed ?

Necroauthorship: The Phenomenon of Dead Scientists Continuing to Publish
________________________________________
Why is that science watchdogs are not very much concerned over fake authorship? Do they really believe its normal that someone can produce a paper every 5 days has been mentioned by Stanford Full Professor John Ioannidis in the email below?
Let´s look for instance to Arnold L. Rheingold who according to Scopus has 2055 publications and that in 2018 at the age of 78 years old has manage to publish 37 journal papers. Or Howard Maibach that has 1734 Scopus publications and at the age of 89 years old publishes around 25 Scopus publications per year. Or to Harold A.Scheraga that has 1239 Scopus publications and keeps on publishing at the age of 97 ! What do they drink ? Science viagra ?
Or even better to Alan Roy Katritzky who according to Scopus has/had 1658 publications. Its truth that he died at the age of 86 years the same year that he published 27 publications referenced on Scopus being that even one year after his death almost a dozen with his name were published referenced on Scopus. Of course, we can imagine a scientist that left his "team" so many excellent ideas that for the next years after his death they keep on adding his name to the publications ! But how many years after one´s death is it possible to keep publishing? 1, 5, 50 years ?
