| Jul 6, 2020 at 0:27 | comment | added | Allure | Three months on, it seems clear the answer is yes - but the submissions are increasing. June submissions outnumbered May submissions by almost 3000, and it's the largest ever recorded as well. Voting to reopen (again) so it can be added as an answer. | |

| Mar 20, 2020 at 3:05 | comment | added | Allure | @Buffy on reflection I am not keen to start a discussion on the meta. If you do, however, I will participate. | |
| Mar 19, 2020 at 20:22 | comment | added | Buffy | I'll watch for a question there. | |
| Mar 19, 2020 at 20:21 | comment | added | Allure | @Buffy we should probably discuss that on the meta. | |
| Mar 19, 2020 at 20:20 | comment | added | Buffy | Yes, and for the same reason I find the question annoying. I don't see this site as a place to satisfy our curiosity only. Hmmm. I'm wondering how many academics have cats v dogs? I prefer questions with some substance, actually. | |

| Mar 19, 2020 at 20:16 | comment | added | Allure | @Buffy I gotta say, I find it annoying when people assume things in the question that aren't there. Plus, if I had asked this question intending to do something with the answer, I should also be able to tell what action if any to take. | |
| Mar 19, 2020 at 19:49 | comment | added | Buffy | Correct. I don't think there is a meaningful answer yet. But the same is true of many things at the moment. But I'm guessing this was just curiosity on your part, not a question leading to some action item. | |
| Mar 19, 2020 at 19:47 | comment | added | Allure | @Buffy in that case the answer is there is no answer yet. | |
| Mar 19, 2020 at 19:42 | comment | added | Buffy | But the effect may just be chaotic. It is what I'd predict anyway. Start the research now and in a year or so you will have an answer. Perhaps. Or maybe five years as Andy Putman suggests. | |
| Mar 19, 2020 at 19:19 | comment | added | Allure | @Buffy are you assuming that I think there would have been an effect? I'm asking if there has been an effect. If there is no effect then that's an answer too, and if there is an effect it could be either way (i.e. more papers or fewer papers are both possible). | |

| Mar 19, 2020 at 13:24 | comment | added | Buffy | Research takes time. This has been three months now, with much general disruption. Why do you think there would be any effect over such a period? | |

| Mar 19, 2020 at 10:50 | comment | added | Solar Mike | @DanRomik I asked what assumptions were being made... I did not and still don't feel the need to ask the question that the OP asked. | |
| Mar 19, 2020 at 10:19 | comment | added | Anonymous Physicist | I downvoted this because the best answer can be found on ArXiv.org, not here. | |
| Mar 19, 2020 at 9:20 | comment | added | Massimo Ortolano | I think too short time has passed to have some statistics. Speaking for myself, I had to put on hold at least one ongoing manuscript because I had to stop the experimental activity. For another manuscript, nothing has changed because the experimental results were already completed. For third manuscript, which I planned to start writing at the beginning of March, I instead postponed the start at the beginning of April because I'm now too busy organizing the online lectures, and I'll probably submit it with fewer experimental results. | |
| Mar 19, 2020 at 9:12 | comment | added | Dan Romik | @SolarMike my interpretation is Allure is asking an empirical question that does not require assuming anything. It sounds like you’re trying to come up with a theoretical model to answer the question by pure reason/theoretical analysis, and want to know what assumptions you should make, but I don’t think that’s what’s being asked for. | |
| Mar 19, 2020 at 8:52 | comment | added | Solar Mike | No I clearly asked if you were making those assumptions... | |

| Mar 19, 2020 at 8:43 | comment | added | Allure | @SolarMike are you assuming all these things about the question that aren't actually in it? | |
| Mar 19, 2020 at 8:37 | comment | added | Solar Mike | Do you assume all researchers are at home or still at work? Can they / did they take material home? Is it possible for them to work effectively at home? Are you assuming they will get more work done at home? no students to distract them, based on your point about Newton... | |
