The Perils of "Publish or Perish".
This episode of The Random Sample is the final instalment in our special three-part series on navigating the world of academic and scientific publishing.
In it, we dive deep into the dilemma - and what many see as the pervasive mindset - known simply as publish or perish.
Our guest is QUT statistician Professor Adrian Barnett. As part of all the research he does, Adrian uses the power of statistics to reveal the pressures and pitfalls of the current system.
Plus, we explore questions like:
- Can things change?
- Should they?
- What can academics and journals do to make the system better?
Our host for this episode is Dr James Nichols, a mathematician and Lecturer at the Australian National University.
