Research publication requirement for university appointments and promotion

I think the current appointments and promotion criteria of university academics require urgent review in the light of global changes in higher education sector.

In particular, the RESEARCH criterion of number of publications needs clarity and should be more elaborate and specific.

In the attached article I have shared my ideas on quality of journals, citation of publications, and the issue of publications with two or more authors.
