“…Plus, the primary measure of research activity used in tenure decisions is the number of publications (Allen, 1996;Blackburn & Lawrence, 1995;Bland et al, 2006;Fairweather, 2005). Although the number of publications is used to assess faculty productivity, it is not evidence of research quality (Colbeck, 2004), thus many in academia are concerned with the pressure to publish in order to be productive (De Rond & Miller, 2005;Euben, 2002;Neill, 2008;and Parker, Guthrie, & Gray, 1998). For this study the National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF: 04) referred to research in the number of: articles or creative works in referred and non-referred journals; reviews of books, articles, creative works, chapters in edited books; textbooks other books, monographs, and client reports; presentations at conferences or workshops; career exhibitions or performances; and patents, software, products, or other works.…”
