The post argues that paper counts should not be treated as a proxy for research quality, even for papers published at top venues.
It praises a hiring approach used at Imperial College: candidates submit their top three papers, and evaluators focus on the depth of those works and the candidate’s individual contribution, rather than total publication count.
