Any advice on publishing, e.g. five to six papers, emanating from a PhD before graduation. What should a prospective student do to achieve this and still graduate in record time, such as three years?

Thank you Wolfgang R. Dick for the response.
I am aware of the discussion you made reference to. Publishing during graduation is important. However, my question is: what should I do to publish many articles e.g. five or six during Ph.D. and secondly, still finish in record time.
Just focus on writing the PhD, which is more detailed than journal papers, which can be published later :)
I agree with Andrew Paul McKenzie Pegman . But you should also check, e.g. with your thesis advisor, whether your university allows to use texts from your own publications in your thesis. If yes, you may write a paper and later use in, perhaps in modified form, in your thesis.
Thank you, Andrew Paul McKenzie Pegman and Wolfgang R. Dick
I am working towards an assistant or professorship journey, and part of the criteria is a specified number of research units and a Ph.D.
Dear Lucky Sibanda . Some universities make it a condition to publish at least one paper (in a good journal) before your graduation .
I have strongly recommended such academic activity,so please go ahead.

Any graduate student preparing for phD line of action initially always study his area in the line with the student preparing for phD .Student for phD should have his ambition to be a part for phD & his study remains all the time in this direction so that he may complete his study .
With the fully guideline & preparation for phD graduation , we must have our full study matter for preparing the paper in the line with our study , & progress .
This is my personal opinion
Hello Lucky Sibanda
I also strongly encourage this action and I think it would also contribute well to your plan of obtaining a professorship in the future.
For getting 5 or 6 papers quickly, I have found that I should collaborate with other reliable people in my area - hopefully, there will be people in the lab/section with you who are reliable. Otherwise, it should be in an area that you are very familiar with as you have to study a lot in that area, as Rohit Manilal Parikh says, even before choosing your topic for PhD. In that case, you would have to work quickly an quite hard. That is the only way to get so much action.
Choosing a suitable journal is also very important. Suggest check the aims and scope page from their website before if you are not familiar with the journal(s). Or published articles in the journal(s).
Alternatively, I seem to send manuscripts to the same journals repeatedly and you might be familiar with them already.
Thank you so much, Joseph C Lee for addressing my question.
I didn't want to mention it, but most responses above seem to have avoided my question, as the answers did not directly speak to my question.
Your suggestions are extremely valuable, i.e. working quickly and quite hard; working as part of a lab (collaboration) with reliable team members; and selecting suitable journals.
Much thanks again.
Hi
I think impact factor ofva journal can be determined by dividing the no. of citations of a journal to the total no. of articles of a journals for two previoys years.
