No limitation about the number , but the important is the quality

Some Institutes require 2, 3 or even 5 articles. However, in science (as in life) there are successful ("fruitful") years, when the number of articles exceeds 10-15. this can be compared with the search for a rich gold vein).

Thank you dear Dr. Leonid

To me, at least two articles in peer-reviewed journals, considering possible delays.

Regards

It is difficult to determine the number of articles and it depended on person.

Interesting question!

You have to publish as much as you can. For me, publishing depends of the quantity of data that you possess and the novelties of your research. I suggest anyway 4 good articles in good (IF) journal: 1 paper in a period of 3 months = 4 Papers/Year.

Dassekpo.

I think 2-4 articles depends on speed of response and flexibility provided by journals.

Regards

The activity in publishing depends on the work plan of each subject according to the budget allocated to the department or the laboratory, according to the working group and according to the number of registered graduate students...

2 to 3 research papers for per year.

Any number depending on several factors including; your field, your seniority level, the projects you are running and your productivity. I would say 4-10

Dear researchers, please, check your answer and delete multiple answers that appeared because of RG bug.

when you post the message, you are prompted as follows:

Just, neglect it, refresh the page and your answer will appear.

There is no fixed amount or frequency,

It depends on the discipline, on the researcher profile (simple researcher, Head of laboratory, responsible of group, etc...).

It depends on the conditions, ... Availability of materials, chemicals, apparatus, equipments, bibliography, etc. ...

But if you have some statistical data on your discipline, it's very good if you are in the center of distribution, near the average, etc...

Dear Colleagues

We should publish a quantity of articles (results), no bigger than the inspiration we have. Let's not forget that nowadays more is written than reading ... and then we should ask the question: how many articles should be able to read a researcher? However, we must oppose the purely economic guidance of greedy managers who confuse research results with industrial results: screws, machines, shoes, etc. Let's also take into account the inflation of scientific results ... and try to counter the collapse in the kingdom of quantity, denounced so harshly by Rene Guenon.

God help us !

It varies from researcher to researcher, but ideally a good researcher must publish 2 to 3 manuscripts in good journals (at least scopus/SCI).

Dear Dr Tayeh

In my opinion, the quality of the papers is more important than the number.

Unfortunately, universities and scholars are interested by the number rather than the quality. Some researchers publish six or seven per year but you can see that they are nearly the same. Some researchers just write their names without contribution to the papers. Hence, they get large numbers.

Dear Dr Tayeh

I know that you must publish some number for being a professor. Unfortunately, they do not care for quality or real contribution. Hence you have to get that number.

If I were to put regulations, I will concentrate on quality.

@ Cardei Petru: ...nowadays more is written than reading ... and then we should ask the question: how many articles should be able to read a researcher?

I agree. Basically, and after a while, what one writes results from the threads of one's own research and related reflections and results of others. Personally, an important paper is a stellar event among all of the minor, related works. And the number of such stellar events is minuscule relative to the total number events represented by published papers.

From those observations, we arrive an indeterminate (not exactly known) quantity of published papers per year. Sometimes that number can be 1 paper per year (for a paper that is a stellar event) to a higher number occasioned by the birth of many stars during a particular year.

I do't think that it will be exact quantity

one high quality article is enough

Depends on the workload of the researchers. To me quality of published work rather than number of articles can be an indicatot.

Depends on the workload of the researchers. To me quality of published work Is important than the number of published articles

If a researcher is working full time on research, it should be 3-4 papers in peer-reviewed journals every year! If he/she also has teaching responsibilities, the number can come to 2 papers per year. The number of papers also depend on the discipline and with how many people you are working in collaboration.

Less than One to Infinite - depending upon the works performed.

Between 2 to 4 should be fine

There is no specific number. It depend on some factors such as the field of work, quality of work and available possibilities, However the average of publishing is 3-6 articles per year

An active researcher can publish 4-5 papers but my opinion is that the number is no more important however quality has more importance.

Perhaps the query should sound somewhat different:

how many original ideas ... :-))

Is an author first author, second author, last author? How many authors are listed on the paper: 1, 2, 3, 10, 40, 100, or more?

As long as the researcher has the strength.

Dear Respected researchers/RG members please follow the suggestion given by Prof Ljubomir.

According to the guidelines by the Ministry of Health, Malaysia, atleast 2 papers per year should be published.

Interesting question, and worthy answers.

Thank you dear Dr. Ahmed Mahdi for the useful answer

may be one or two

In my opinion, publishing two articles per year is fair.

In my opinion, the number of articles a researcher publishes in a year depends (among other things) on how active the researcher is involved in research activity in that year (or even the years preceding that year). Due to this, I don't think there is a fixed number. Regards.

It really depends. Each institution should have a research policy that includes quantity and quality of peer reviewed articles (WOS, SCOPUS, etc.), and by quality I mean impact factor (IF) of the journal divided by the median IF of the area of study of the journal (in civil engineering a 3.7 IF journal cannot be compared to another civil engineering journal with 0.3 IF, and of course you can’t compare a 3.7 IF civil engineering journal (extremely good) to a 3.7 IF journal in other area where the median IF is (let’s say) 5). Additionally, individual adjustment should be done by the resources that each researcher has (access to good labs, number of grad students, grant money, etc.) and if you are first and/or corresponding author (in general, those authors work more). For instance, if you have a bad lab, no grad students, no grants and you got to publish one 1.0 IF WOS paper in civil engineering being you the first and corresponding author, that is pretty good. Whereas if you have a good lab, 4 PhD student and a big grant …a two good papers (let´s say 3.0 IF WOS in civil engineering) a year…that is pretty average.

I'm agree with the answer of Dr Gerardo Araya-Letelier. In my opinion, the researchers should be improve the quantity and the quality of the papers.

Is it possible to publish four or five or more papers per year by keeping the quality even the corresponding institution has rules of such kind?

A researcher should not count number. He has to focus on the quality of work.

For Research I University in the USA, many would require faculty to publish at lest 2 quality journal articles per years. With other institutions, it varies.

The normal number shifts colossally in various fields. The typical number in natural sciences is around 2. It is imperative to attempt and keep up a distribution rate over your profession and keep on doing some work at the lab seat else you lose contact rapidly.

regards

In some universities in Iran, the researchers need to publish one paper in ranking Q1 or two papers in ranking Q2. But in my university we need only 1 or 2 ISI papers per years.
