Hellow.
I am wondering, the pace in which physicists publish a paper, seem to be very slow, in the good case, once every several months, in the not so case, once in one in half-two years. [only the time the pre-prints appear, before the "Peer review"] The older age publish more rarely, some don't publish pre-prints at all.
1. Is someone addressing the older age for the gaps, years, they don't publish pre-prints ?
2. Is their salary affected by what they don't do but suppose to do or only by their academic rank ? (Trivial Question, we know the answer)
It depends who is a "physicist," a PhD student or a principal investigator of several large grants. Publications are also different, in a prestigious journal or as a pre-print (which I don't consider as publication). The academic rank might be not related to the scientific activity, but might be based only on reputation of colleagues. The people, who actively involved in research, know very well who is who. The salary and reputation of scientists do not have any simple relationship.
Yurii V Geletii Hellow :)
1. First of all if you can define "prestigious" in rigor that would be good.
2. Your answer does not answer my question, other than the last sentence which claim to more hold more complex relationship than linear between age and number of publications.
3. "who actively involved in research, know very well who is who" That is simply not true. The older Generation does not know the work and the talent of the upcoming young generation. The opposite is incorrect.
4. Regarding the first sentence, "it depends who is a "physicist," a PhD student or a principal investigator of several large grants". I find the "" use on "physicist" Highly disrespecting. As far as I can see, you are indirectly claiming PhD students are less than PI in Intellectual caliber. Have I got you wrong ?
1. "prestigious" High impact factor and highly professional reviewers.
2. Some people become the leaders in their area and publish more paper because they have more resources. Some people with PhD degree are unable to work independently.
3. "The older Generation does not know the work and the talent of the upcoming young generation." I'm seventy years old and I know very well what I'm talking about
4 The "" use on "physicist" Highly disrespecting.". You used this word but not me. The definition of physicist 'those who have studied physics at degree level (or higher) and who remain interested in learning about it.Aug 12, 2011

"you are indirectly claiming PhD students are less than PI in Intellectual caliber." PhD students are students who learn from their superwisers.
Yurii V Geletii "I'm seventy years old and I know very well what I'm talking about"
Long overdue, but how is your age related to this discussion ? I don't understand your reasoning, If there is such to begin with. I think you should sharpen your argument skills.

"The older age publish more rarely, some don't publish preprints at all." "The older Generation does not know the work and the talent of the upcoming young generation."
"I think you should sharpen your argument skills." ??? My argument skills are in my publications.
