Publications a year
The publishing of research results is essential for a university. Publishing constitutes the foundation for scientific dialogue and sustainable knowledge, but it also serves as a way of giving back to the society that provides financial support for science and research. For universities, the number of publications per year is used as a measure of activity, a fact that is taken into account by the State for the determination of its funding.
I was well pleased with the land and the land with me.
