I noticed the YAFU project running today in BOINC and went to learn more:

* https://yafu.myfirewall.org/yafu/ Copyright page indicates 2011-2025. No indication of published academic papers.
* https://boinc.berkeley.edu/pubs.php No indication of published academic papers.

I would strongly prefer that Science United focus on projects that publish academic papers as listed in https://boinc.berkeley.edu/pubs.php
Please consider removing the YAFU project .

I'm noticing they are others projects with lack of publications. I can create a list with projects with publications in the last five years and compare to what's available in science united, so a more curated list of projects can be selected

Would the administrator be interested in such a list?
