Answer Explanations
- Yesuser-614985The text contains multiple thinking gaps and multiple streams of the information. There was no one-complete message conveyed in the text. The figures were not consecutive.
- Nouser-683654It was not even the pressure to publish that made me to publish but the desire to know the gaps that were missing and improve on the quality of the work.
- Nouser-515289I am "author" of all my experimental studies. I prefer do not depend on the number of my publications.
- Nouser-37487Because I was lucky enough not to be evaluated that way.
- Yesuser-967592Some time to increase the no of publications and in hurry scientist are publishing studies in parts and sometime not the conclusive study. Due to which we are not able to make impact in science.
- Yesuser-412773For the same reason above
- Yesuser-380025At my university, for promotion exercises, we are required to publish in three categories: foreign, national, and local. Foreign refers to papers published in journals outside Nigeria, national refers to papers published within Nigeria, and local refers to papers published in journals domiciled in my university and within my state. We are required to publish in all three categories. However, the quality of research that is accepted in national and local journals often doesn't meet the standards of Q1 journals.
- Nouser-505763No, I don't think so. I do not let myself be swayed by peer pressure or institutional demands, believing that my research deserves better than that.
- Yesuser-180557Yes sometimes we need to publish within a given time frame..
- Yesuser-882162sometimes it is required a high volume of publications in a few time
- Yesuser-787588As I answered above, the quality of the publication could have been improved with the addition of molecular and cellular mechanisms, but we preferred to publish the main result without those mechanisms.
- Yesuser-536513Running fewer independent replicates to speed things up
- Nouser-866827Have to maintain integrity
- Nouser-465954Despite the institutional requirements to publish regularly, I always ensure that my research meets high standards of scientific integrity and contributes valuable insights to the field.
- Yesuser-214851Tenure and promotion deadlines and pressure to publish affected the quality of some of my research.
- Yesuser-906775In my first year of research, I was so excited to have my data published in the Journal of Food Chemistry and later on, I realized I was not ready yet.
- Nouser-1522My job requirements affect the quality of research
- Yesuser-629736The actual idea takes a beating. Because then you divert you attention to tie the loose ends of the data with some additional experiments or information, so that it looks complete and paper ready. The biggest sufferer is the 'idea' as when final comes out it would take way too long because of digressions in the path. Moreover, it wont be new because you kept giving it out in bits and pieces from earlier papers.
- Nouser-548892I publish on my own time, not with editors or organizations.
- Yesuser-198202The pressure to publish can be positive as well as negative. One can recall how it forced deeper analysis of how to resolve a particular quantitation problem and how the more intensive research led to the discovery of an accepted solution from another discipline.
- Yesuser-731609Yes, we could add more value with more experiments performed.
- Nouser-253626While I have embreced publishing of other project related articles e.g. protocols, I have always stood my ground that publishing of the results will only occur when we've finalised the project
- Yesuser-620877The pressure to publish force me to do a salami slicing of my work.
- Yesuser-270255There are certain manuscripts that I want to publish quickly, because of life changes, such as leaving the institution where I collected data or to simply move on to another research project.
- YesSciPinion AdminMore some when I was earlier in my career and did not have tenure.
- Nouser-858214I do not publish data, that does not convince myself
- Yesuser-217826In this case, the pressure to publish may affect the quality of interpretation and discussion section of research.
- Yesuser-874038I have to hurry and did not have opportunity to dedicate enough time to go through neccesary literature deep enough.
- Yesuser-426745I think that affects in the huge amounth of publications does not have a true impact on science, i think there are a lot of low quality of papers and a really big amounth of metaanalisis that does not have a clear conlcusiĆ³n.
- Yesuser-820027The published abstract of the research in progress which the title was online with the main project, was indexed in major citation data bases. I had to extract a single objective out of the main research which was the same as the abstract to sent for publication.
- Yesuser-583963Yes, there should be clear understanding of research. If anybody is struggling about the main concept then he/she will definitely struggle in publishing the work.
