Abstract
Academics are under a great deal of pressure to publish. Decisions on crucial issues of hiring, tenureand promotion are largely determined by publication rates (Boice & Jones, 1984) and faculty scholarlyperformance has traditionally been assessed by "straight counts" of publications (Braxton & DelFavero, 2002). These publication rates are used by institutions as an indicator of the institution’sperformance and are important criteria in securing external funding from government and other sources(McGrail, Rickard & Jones, 2006). Failure to publish within the expected norms established by acollege or university can result in a faculty member’s termination.
