I have heard it said that no matter how bad a scientific paper is that there is a journal somewhere that will publish it. It seems to me that a better metric would be not the number of publications that a scientist makes, but the citations of those papers by other scientists. I once had my undergraduate advisor tell me that nearly all masters theses were garbage, and after getting over my initial shock and subsequent inquiry, he went on to tell me that they were garbage because no one read them.
