最近在网上看到说有的科学家一年能发40-50篇甚至60-70篇文章，我不知道这是什么研究领域？就我的研究领域来讲，一年能在国际顶尖刊物上发1-2篇文章已经是非常了不起的事情了。现在我们国家发表论文的数量在世界上排名第二，但高水平的文章并不多。从科学家总数来讲，我们国家的科学家的数量可能要排全球第一，但高水平的科学家的比例可能要倒数第几位。

因此国家的科技政策和评价体系更应鼓励我国科学家脚踏实地开展高水平的原创性的研究，而不是鼓励科学家多发文章，同时淘汰那些低水平的重复研究。

事实上，一个好科学家的标准并不是研究论文的数量而是研究论文的质量。就我的研究领域来讲，美国一流大学的教授一辈子发表的论文超过100篇的也不多见。有的科学大师一辈子发表的论文甚至不超过50篇。例如现代动力气象学之父Jule Gregory Charney教授一辈子只发表了40多篇文章：

个人简历：

Jule Gregory Charney (January 1, 1917 – June 16, 1981) was an American meteorologist who played an important role in developing weather prediction. He developed a set of equations (The Quasi-Geostrophic Vorticity Equation) for calculating the large-scale motions of planetary-scale waves. He gave the first convincing physical explanation for the development of mid-latitude cyclones known as the Baroclinic Instability theory. He is considered the father of modern dynamical meteorology.
