Episode Notes

We all have heard the phrase “Publish or Perish”, but what does it really mean in our today’s academic life? In this show, we interview Prof. Stephane Bordas, Professor of Computational Mechanics at University of Luxemburg, to talk about Quality vs Quantity related to scientific publishing. He has published more than 200 journal articles and has served as the editor of a few journals. He will share some insights on which Q comes first when it comes to publishing scientific documents.
