OT: For the economics fans or anyone who is in academia, I found this article equally humorous and insightful.

Newcomers to the academy typically think that the recipe for success is to ‘do high-quality research’. Nothing could be more false. ‘Doing research’ (and writing papers about your ‘results’) is a tedious waste of time. It is no way to be hyper-productive. Savvy academics know that their true goal is to have their name stamped (as author) on stacks of published papers.

Here is a jingle to help you remember the golden rule:

Productive academics neither research nor write,

That is their subordinates’ plight.

To inflate their way up the productivity ramp,

academic hyper-producers perfect their namestamp.
