Has there been a decline in the quality of research over the years?

Yes, because all the low hanging fruits have been plucked and the time taken to produce original,valuable work is so fucking high. To make matters worse ,the quality of researcher is gauged by the no. Of papers published.

In addition to this, the academic field now favours sharp elbows and psychopaths, as demonstrated by the reproduction crisis and the continuing retractions.
See Retractionwatch for more. Things are really bad.

That's what one gets with the "publish or perish" attitude. I've seen plenty of threads on /sci/ where phd students are told by their advisors to publish results even if those results were heavily edited or outright made up. Most scientists are no longer interested in actual science, it's a race to the top to them instead. The only way out would be the scorched earth policy where we sack all the unqualified morons. That would never happens in today's political climate, especially considering diversity hires.
