People say that three's a crowd, it takes two to tango, and one is the loneliest number.
But what's the magic number when it comes to publications?
How many pubs do you need to get tenure? When I ask around, the answer varies. At my PUI, I've heard anywhere from one up to five as the magic number that will ensure a worry-free pass on the research front.
My favorite response so far? "Enough. You need enough."
Maybe there isn't one magic number for publications. But it does make me wonder: is there a national standard for demonstrating publishing prowess?
