John Ioannidis is one of the ten most cited scientists globally and is generally recognized as one of the best.
His best-known work is Why Most Published Scientific Results Are False, which has helped revolutionize how people think about the incentives in science. A researcher at Stanford who is a member of 5 departments, including Medicine, Epidemiology, Statistics, Biomedical Data Science, and Innovation in Research, when he publishes, he tends to get the attention of many.
So when he co-authored a paper titled “Is society caught up in a Death Spiral? Modeling societal demise and its reversal,” I immediately decided to read it. The primary author is Michaéla C. Schippers, and Matthias Luijks is a contributing author. I refer to Ioannidis mainly because his is the most recognizable name rather than because he is the only or primary author.
