Academic Analytics Research Center (AARC) scholars William E. Savage, Ph.D. and Anthony J. Olejniczak, Ph.D. recently posted a preprint of their research on SocArXiv. The preprint, Research publication productivity among senior faculty at Ph.D.-granting institutions in the United States, documents the publishing patterns of early career, mid-career, and senior scholars in terms of books, book chapters, journal articles, and conference proceedings. Results show that rather than the commonly cited “peak-and-decline” model of career publishing patterns, senior scholars shift their focus away from journal articles and conference proceedings and focus on publishing books and chapters.
