What is salami slicing
- 1. WHAT IS SALAMI SLICING Explainingscientific publication trends Insight
- 2. WHAT IS SALAMISLICING Salami is a meat product, like a sausage. We love to slice it thinly to many pieces. Although many slices, they are still a salami In publication, one can create many papers from one single idea or experiment The practice of fragmenting single research into as many publications as possible
- 3. SALAMI SLICING Scientific salamislicing is the practice of fragmenting single coherent bodies of research into as many publications as possible An author breaks up a study into two or more smaller published articles, they are creating “slices” of their work. A single research is divided into “slices,” each of which is a “least publishable unit.” Authors do it to increase their publication count, to get more recognition, to achieve self satisfaction, to achieve faster career progression, to receive more funding
- 4. WHY SALAMI SLICING Thedesire to publish new results rapidly. The desire of researchers to maximize their publication count, but limited conditions of funding and university Publish or perish climate Overemphasis on the size of an individual's publication record as a means of quantifying their research output Rewards quantity over quality. The volume of a researcher’s publication output is a criterion on which their scientific accomplishment is judged.

- 21. THE PRICE OFSALAMI SLICING Time spent on papers that make little contribution to new scientific understanding is time wasted. Focus on quality, not on quantity. If you are using data from articles that you have previously published, make sure you cite them in your paper.
- 22. SALAMI SLICING The challengeis not only to establish quantity of a researcher's scientific contribution, but the scientific rigour and not merely numerical output.
