That's "40" rather than "40M"

Yes, sorry this seems like it was some unintentional autocorrect

  I think that was a bug at our end. Sorry! Fixed now.

Seems like I cannot edit the title. I think I posted '40 ML' and it went to 40M for some reason.

40M. More than PubMed, which needed more than two decades to grow close to that number? One way or the other, somebody seems to be utter clueless.

As jjgreen pointed out, the submitter made a bizarrely editorialized version of the title that multiplied the title's number, 40, by a million to get their "40M" version of the title.

  Also bizarre to myself. i shortened Neural Network to 'ML' because NN did bot look right. '40 ML' somehow got '40M'. Could it be server side. Sorry, I did only check now.
