James, Here's my answer :) Notation: Number of graduate students (PhDs) in the pipeline working on the same topic: s (say 100's in a specific area/topic T) Number of journal papers expected upon graduation: p (2 to 10). Number of paper-producing years for a PhD student: y (2-4) Number of issues per journal per year: i (4-12) Number of papers on the specific topic T per issue per journal: t (say 2-10)
My formula for a very rough estimate:) Number of journals on topic T needed: s*p/y*i*t cheers! On Fri, Dec 2, 2011 at 11:09 AM, James P.G.
