Publish or Perish: some collective implications
David Chavalarias, Vincent Gardelle
Presented in Track B - Collective Human Behaviour and Society

There have been an increasing pressure on scholars these last several years to publish work constantly to further or sustain a career in academia. What are the implications on the social game underlying collective elaboration of scientific theories? In this paper we try to sketch the consequences of such pressure at the collective level in terms of science dynamics and quality of published works. For this purpose, we propose a formalization of popper's epistemology that is further studied via multi-agents modeling.
