To Publish or To Perish: The Common Plight of Authors, Graduate Students and Journal Editors

In academia, so it seems, one of the only ways to make it to the top--or the only way to be promoted up the ladder of scholarship--is to publish frequently and in well-regarded journals. That seems to be the way to thrive and survive in the current academic world. As Murphy (2018) succinctly puts it...
