Yeah, if the incentives are to publish convincing papers with less emphasis on quality or, you know, good research then this is going to happen and it’s going to happen a lot.
The article you link doesn’t say if the papers are any good. It does suggest that they were in smaller niche journals so I suspect not.
On the upside, I can see the potential though for literature review type papers.
