Abstract

In their previous post, Leo Tiokhin, Karthik Panchanathan, Paul Smaldino and Daniel Lakens argued that the predominant focus on scientists’ direct contributions has detrimental effects on collaboration, well-being, and scientific progress more broadly. In this post, drawing on examples from several competitive and selective environments, they adopt an evolutionary perspective to suggest that changing the scale for selection is a promising potential solution.
