Abstract

The term ‘publish or perish’ was first used in an academic context in a 1928 journal article.[1] Since then it has been widely adopted by academic institutions as a tool to incentivise individual staff members to publish scholarly articles to enhance both their own reputation and career progression, and thereby the reputation of the institution itself. With the increasing use of publications in performance indicators for academic staff as they progress through promotion rounds, and for institutions themselves as they compete with each other in ranking tables and for government funding, the expression is probably as true today as ever.
