Rosalba Pacelli — INFN - Padova # Slow Science: Rethinking Scientific Production # The Slow Science Manifesto challenges the prevailing "publish or perish" culture in Academia and research, arguing that it undermines the quality, integrity, and societal value of scientific work. We advocate for a shift to more thorough research practices that allow scientists the time needed for deep thinking, careful literature review, and meaningful collaboration. The manifesto envisions a scientific ecosystem based on cooperation rather than competition, where the contribution and value of a scientist are not only measured through bibliometric indices.
