In the past, twinning in research publications was serendipitous, but it has become more frequent nowadays. This may be attributed to researchers' desire to publish on popular topics, base research programs on popular keywords, and funding agencies preferentially supporting certain areas of research.
This Essay highlights the complex issue of twinning in science publications. Historical accounts present cases where two scientists focused on the same problem and came up with the same solution following different paths. This has changed in the present day. The concurrent publication of rather similar research papers from different groups has increased in frequency since 2010. In the past, twinning in research publications was serendipitous, and there was a healthy competition among teams working on similar projects. Today, twinning has become more frequent. This can be attributed to the urge of researchers to have publications on popular topics, the tendency to base research programs on popular keywords, and funding agencies preferentially supporting certain areas of research. With vast amounts of literature being generated, editorial offices and referees may not be able to find these twins very easily. As we inch away from human ingenuity towards artificial intelligence, twinning may become even more frequent.
