] "Richard G. Dudley" <[log in to unmask]>:
Well, I am not so sure employers would just look at the number of
publications rather than the quality of the material. I may be
wrong but I, as a junior scientist, wouldn't just split a paper
into several pieces just for the sake of engrosing the numbers:
To come up with something new is a process and it requires a
certain volume of pages and if I split up the job into several
pieces I'd feel I was cheating. Or are we up to go for the 'To
be continued' as I, once, read in a symposium paper :-) ?.
Cheers,
APS
