Publish or Perish? Yes. Here's Why | Life as an Academic Writer

In this episode of Navigating Academia, Dr. Singh discusses what the term publish or perish means in the context of academia. Here are 3 three points that hopefully will help you understand the meaning of "Publish or Perish" and how the term is used in academia. Point number one is that publications are the coin of the realm in academia. What this means is that by getting more peer-reviewed publications you're going to end up having a higher likelihood of getting tenure, getting promoted getting grants, getting training opportunities, and keynotes. You can travel and hopefully get paid for giving lectures. You can increase your reputation in the field because you're increasing your visibility. There are tens of thousands of academic journals from different publishing houses. When you submit something for publication and it gets published those journals sell those articles. However, when they sell them you as an academic get nothing yet they are making a lot of money. It is still important to try and get an article published in an academic journal. Why? Academics are focused on quality. Publications are the coin of the realm and obviously the higher the impact of the journal the more visibility you're going to have and the more prestige comes along with it. There is something called the impact factor of journals. An impact factor essentially is a way of quantifying the influence of the research influence of a piece based on how many new are getting published per year in a journal relative to how often pieces in the journal are being cited. The second point to help explain publish or perish is something called the mere-exposure effect. This is a psychological phenomenon that you see in all fields of academia. The idea is that the more that you're exposed to a person or a theory the more exposure you have to something the more you like it. The third final is that whatever field that you're in the field forgets fast. This puts a lot of stress on you as an academic the idea that you're going to be forgotten so quickly.
