Hanson et al, ‘The strain on scientific publishing’

2016: 1.9 million articles
2022: 2.8 million articles 

‘Scientists are increasingly overwhelmed by the volume of articles being published... in 2022 the article total was 47% higher than in 2016, which has outpaced the limited growth, if any, in the number of practising scientists. Thus, publication workload per scientist (writing, reviewing, editing) has increased dramatically.’
