Stress is one of the common ills in researchers pressured by production. Publishing should be a quality decision, not a goal to be achieved. And the impact should count on time and maturation, not a continuous and immediate requirement.
You just have to do more than they require. But not very much. It is not necessary indulge to the authorities.
My friend wrote a monograph for many years and once finished. The next day (!) his boss asks: Do you have the opportunity to write a monograph? The friend says: Yes, I will bring it tomorrow ... To say that the boss was stunned - to say nothing ...
Sincere apologies as this is solely my point of perception,
Well For to defy the time we need to have a proper time management,
1. Time to motivate : On daily basis we need to give time to motivate our self.
2. Time to write: On daily basis write something related to the work weather related or unrelated, later which can be edited or modified.
3. Learn the technique to be in present: Learn the most powerful technique to be at present in place of regretting about past and worrying about future.
4.And learn the habit of holistic growth: Give higher percentage of time to your research work but also try to learn to give time to other works like music, hobby, reading, brain storming and other constructive habits, may be the percentage of time given be comparatively less.
6.Equally time to learn something new everyday: Try to learn or do something new or difficult thing, act, hobby, or leisure activity, as an when you keep getting successful in it, you will, more or less keep getting motivated and this motivation can be converged towards the research work.
7.Learn to forgive yourself and others: If time. most precious element, being get wasted due to some other person or due to our self, we must learn to forgive our self and even others so that we can move further.
8. Every time and everyday learn to forget pessimist time wasting deeds and start a new with new energy and motivation: Try to eliminate time wasting habits and acts of thinking, and inculcate the habit of forgetting those time killing attention attracting habits to be converted to be an act of converging attention to the higher / ultimate goal. This habit needed to be inculcate.

This requires a strict methodical life-style and a clear manufacturing philosophy, without sacrifying creativity.
I am not sure if this pressure really exists. I did a qualitative research with some brazilian researchers, where our scientific policies had a focus on the quantity of outputs (not the quality of production), and this pressure - which is often a common discourse in different spheres - was manifested by just a few interviewees. Just a few felt the pressure to publish and disseminate their research. Most considered publishing and dissemination as a commitment to society. Although it is a research with a small sample, could bring us an apportunity to reflect about the discourse of pressure in academia: Article Mediatization of Science: reconfiguration of the paradigm of...
Keep doing the research and when you think the time is appropriate put it in the form of a paper and publish it. Do not publish everything you have found to date. Save some for the next paper. This way there is always something on the table yet to be published. Secondly provide updates in the form of informal communiques to colleagues and the powers-to-be so that they know there is continual progress which might keep them off your back. Thirdly have your research assistants make presentations to the Department during the Seminar time periods. This is not only helpful in getting feedback from the audience, it also publicizes your work and efforts in a continuous fashion.
RESEARCH AND PUBLICATION are indispensable parts of academic career. people choosing career int he academic should have come prepared and be able and ready to commit to such requirement. In academic institutions, there are choices or career track: administrative, management, or academic teaching and research). A chef works in the kitchen; he/she is not much of a chef, if he/she cannot stand the heat in the kitchen.

I would like to thank all my fellow researchers for their answers. I really liked the answers. In fact, not everyone feels pressured by the demands of scientific productivity. And there are also those who wear psychologically with this continual pressure. I think that we, scientists and researchers, must give more and more importance to the quality of what we do, not to quantity. I believe that satisfaction and professional achievement can replace anxiety and the stress of productivity.
