I did a fast review of the literature in PsychInfo and this was the only reference I saw that was keyed at the level of the individual. This reads as if it was the source of this common estimate. Notice that the article is quite old. The world has changed since 1973.
More recent articles are concerned with disentangling the effects of the institution you attended, the institution where you are employed, publication vs citation (i.e., quality), sex (i.e., gender bias) and so on. ------------------------------------ AN: 1974-21054-001 DT: Journal-Article TI: Icons in the attic: Research activities of clinical psychologists. AU: Pasewark,-Richard; Fitzgerald,-Bernard; Thornton,-Larry; Sawyer,-Robert SO: Professional-Psychology:-Research-and-Practice. 1973 Aug; Vol. 4(3): 341-346. JN: Professional-Psychology:-Research-and-Practice; PB: US: American Psychological Assn. IS: 0735-7028 PY: 1973 AB: Explores the relationship between training by the scientific model and research productivity after employment. The number of publications listed in Psychological Abstracts from 1965 to 1969 was tabulated for the 3,343 Division 12 American Psychological Association members listed in the 1968 Directory. The mean publication rate was 1.61, with a yearly rate of .32 articles per member. Research activity was limited to a small population, since 55% had no publications and 10% authored 56% of the publications. The data indicate an association between research productivity and sex, age, Division 12 status, and type of employment. Explanations for the low publication rate among clinicians include (a) the low actual relationship between the scientist model and the clinician goal of helping people, (b) the fact that students are "turned off" to the scientist model during training, (c) the lack of real commitment by programs to the model, and (d) the fact that rewards for clinical activities are stronger than those for research and publication.
