- Reducing team sizes may lead to more sustainable scientific progress.
- A shift in publication culture could enhance research impact.

## Abstract

In the same way ecosystems tend to increase maturity by decreasing the flow of energy per unit biomass, we should move towards a more mature science by publishing less but high-quality papers and getting away from joining large teams in small roles. That is, we should decrease our scientific productivity for good.
