RE: [pakgrid] Re: Productive Scientists

The best method to count the number of papers as weighted average (divided by number of authors eg. 4 authors in a paper should count as 0.25).
82 papers/year is not possible unless the whole section/division researchers are putting their boss name on all papers either with his knowledge or without asking him.
If that is the case, it is rather unethical.

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.
