It depends on many factors, but in general about 3 hours...
The time it takes to write a paper is directly proportional to the quality of the information you have to report. It takes forever to write a paper around a weak set of research data analysis that does not illustrate a clear contribution. Whereas, when the output answers the research question with authority, it takes very little effort to describe the contribution and in most cases it requires fewer words. With a solidly supported conclusion, I can write a first draft in 4 to 8 hours. When the conclusion is tenuous, then it takes at least 5 times as long and will probably not result in an acceptance by a decent journal.
Prof Sharma,
Very interesting issue under discussion.
Not daily, but yes needs few weeks regular stretch to concentrate on the research under study to achieve output in terms of quality.
It ultimately works out only as 2 to 3 papers every year as sending , modifying resending to various journals take lot of time when compared to writting alone..
I give less time can do much better ...
Original papers also depend on the work load you have n what prime center you are working at ...you need to wait long to collect substential data ,unless you are into a multicentric project
