This culture of publish or perish is driving an unfavorable work ethic and declining attention towards teaching. This problem is being fueled by ranking and accrediting bodies. Good research is definitely a metric for excellence. Where do we stand with excellence and decline?
I think my record was 14 in journals with a high impact factor, in my field, materials engineering. Eight to ten is completely possible.
it depends on the type of manuscript to be published and the targeted journal's procedure. All things being equal, I think once in two months making it a total of six papers per year.
I agree with Cissan Adanma Sylvanus , on dependency factors she mentioned. Vasanti Lagali-Jirge This really shouldn't be anything that can pressure on someone. But as an author, what are your goals in terms of the papers you want to publish. With this in mind, remember also that as researchers we are not just contributing to knowledge. The significance of our work is in seeing our papers changing policies for the better and seeing projects and programs being developed to provide solutions to the problems that exist.
The number of original research papers one can publish in a year as first author varies widely but typically ranges from a few to several, depending on the field, complexity of the research, and personal workload.
