Regarding recent trends of increasing number of publications right from the undergraduate level to early career time, great concerns have been made on quantity of publications. However, publishing articles, ofcourse, enhances one's personal skills and knowledge, but how impactful are those publications for the relevant stakeholders? Evaluating individuals capability more focused on number of published articles may not always help. I think quality of research and its impact to concerned stakeholders are being overlooked by more focusing on the quantity. What do you think? Are researchers going in the right path?
The quality aspect of the article is more important. It's also not bad having quantity paper instead of having no quality paper and waiting for the quality paper
for long time in the author's profile.
Khem Raj Pant, these early papers helps us to build our skills and knowledge of paper writing that eventually be useful in future. And as you said definitely it's wise to go for quantity.
The number of publications will not judge an academic potential of individual . It is a quality of the paper published in journal having good publisher & high impact factor important.
I really appreciate your response Madhukar Baburao Deshmukh Sir. It really helps.
