  "abstract": "I have previously defined the “publish or perish” doctrine as “An aphorism that describes the pressure on an academic to have innovative scholarly material published in reputable journals or other forms of scholarly output, sufficiently often, in order to avoid demotion, dismissal, failure to progress in one’s scholarly career, or diminishing the status or reputation of one’s scholarly community or discipline.” The doctrine has been responsible, at least in part, for many deleterious effects on academic practice: increased numbers of publications, accompanied by an increase in the numbers of co-authors on each paper; a reduction in the quality of the work being published; wasted resources and the reproducibility crisis; stifling of innovation; increased research misconduct of different types; the burgeoning of paper mills and predatory journals; increasing numbers of retractions of published work; increased burnout among senior academics and an increased reluctance on the part of trainees to enter research; and diversion of attention from teaching to research.",
