Re: [pakgrid] Re: Productive Scientists

 

Ashiq, this is possible with professors running large research groups and having several postdoc and PhD students working with them.

Though, for an individual, even producing low quality output, this is certainly impossible.

One gentleman produced 82 papers in 2011. This averages up to two papers in one week or roughly one paper in 3 days.

This includes the time to research a topic, do experimentation, get results, write up the findings, proof reading, quality assurance, discuss the results with colleagues, formatting...

How is this possible to do all these things in 3 days and then repeat the whole process 82 times in one year?

I believe quality has been ignored altogether while producing the list.

Best regards
