" In this thoroughly revised second edition of Publish or Perish, Imad A. Moosa extends and develops his analysis of the continual pressure to publish research which plagues the academic sphere. Perceptive and provocative, the book identifies the duress placed upon academics to either publish their work regularly or face the negative consequences, ranging from a lack of promotion to redundancy. Arguing that the 'Publish or Perish' doctrine is the result of globalisation and the neoliberal concept of higher education as a private good, new sections in this second edition cover issues such as editorial misconduct and incompetence, the use of artificial intelligence as a conduit to misconduct and academics suffering psychological and emotional damage. Publish or Perish outlines the overwhelmingly negative unintended consequences stemming from the pressure to publish research, proposing both radical and moderate solutions to address these problems. This highly prescient book will be a crucial read for students, academics and researchers across disciplines worldwide. It will no doubt also be of interest to non-university researchers, university administrators, policy makers and government officials operating within the fields of higher education, science and technology"-- |
