“The encouragement to publish large numbers of papers is daft”

Wissenschaftliche Disqualifikation durch Quantifikation: “Is Queen Mary University of London trying to commit scientific suicide?”

“If you are publishing a paper every six weeks, you certainly aren’t writing them, and possibly not even reading them. Most likely you are appending your name to somebody else’s work with little or no checking of the data. Such numbers can be reached only by unethical behaviour, as described by Peter Lawrence in The Mismeasurement of Science. Like so much managerialism, the rules provide an active encouragement to dishonesty.”
