Who has published the most articles?
The following only covers journal articles appearing in the Web of Science database, book publications and chapters in edited volumes are not taken into account (what can one do?).
The sum of “number of publications” variable provides a total of 1907 articles, which is 2.58 items per assistant professor. When using this method of calculation, any article for which more than one assistant professor has contributed is counted twice (or three times etc, depending on the number of assistants involved). When discounting the number of articles by co-authorship (e.g. when there are two authors, each get 0.5 “points”), then the total is 1343.7. This indicates that single authorship is still quite common. In fact, there are 916 single-authored publications in the database. I cannot tell exactly how many co-authored publications there are because of the double counting. The main conclusion – that the single-authored article publication is “alive” – does not change.
There are 165 assistant professors who don’t have a single entry in the Web of Science database, and 195 who have more than 3. The “median” assistant professor has two entries and 1.33 “co-authorship discounted” publications. The “median” assistant professor also has 0.45 publications per year with PhD (notwithstanding co-authorship), and 0.33 “co-authorship discounted” publications per year with PhD.
The “rankings” or “top lists” have huge problems, so please don’t take them seriously. The “top 10” of each category is given below (for “years with PhD” lists, the assistant professor must have a value of “years with PhD” of at least three; you can construct the lists for one- or two-years from the data yourself very easily). The employer (as of January-February 2006) is given first, then the PhD school and year in parentheses.
