Maryanne, There was a flurry of such work in about 1992 in a variety of journals, including psych ones, mostly looking at gender differences in productivity. They would include raw figures. Also you might look in the literature on the sociology of science, which I believe tends to look at these more regularly. Unfortunately I cannot remember the name of the researcher who is considered the father of the field. Barring that, you might try a search on the "Matthew effect" in sociology. That should net you mostly articles that are about productivity rates in science, including psychology.
In general the results you report sound about right. As I recall, a very small handful of people have a lifetime publication rate of several hundred (which translates to 3-4 a year) in psychology, and many more have a lifetime rate of about ten. Hope this is of some help. Charlotte >Gidday Tipsters, > >A colleague told me about some research that shows the mean number of pubs per psych >academic is 1 per year, while the median is 0.
