Addressing publication pressure requires a multi-faceted approach:
Institutional Support: Universities and research institutions should provide support systems for researchers, including mental health resources and realistic performance expectations. Funding Agencies: Granting agencies should recognize the value of high-quality, reproducible research over sheer publication numbers. Peer Review Process: Journals should emphasize the importance of thorough and rigorous peer review to maintain research quality. Mentorship: Senior researchers should mentor early-career scientists, guiding them towards sustainable and ethical research practices.
