Slow Movement - Slow Science

Slow Science

For more details on this topic, see Slow Science.

The Slow Science movement's objective is to enable scientists to take the time to think and read. The prevalent culture of science is publish or perish, where scientists are judged to be better if they publish more papers in less time, and only the best scientists are able to maintain their careers. Those who practice and promote slow science suggest that "society should give scientists the time they need".
