    All 12 papers had one thing in common: Brian M Lucey, Professor of International Finance and Commodities, Trinity College Dublin — the #1 ranked economics and business school in Ireland — as a co-author.

    Lucey published 56 papers in 2025, one paper every 6.5 days. Lmao.

    Lucey has published 44 papers in Finance Research Letters alone, an Elsevier journal he edited.

    What a shitbird.

      People get put on as co-authors for relatively minor contributions. Being coauthor on a lot of papers doesn’t mean much.

      The second part is the actual problem.

    In the deep dark reaches of the mists of time I once mused on entering the life of an academic. I didn’t think I would enjoy the inevitable regular tsunamis of bullshit. I was not wrong.
