Summary:
"The academic community seems to judge the validity and significance of any contribution by the number of papers published and the number of citations they get. To find funding, to get credit, you have to publish or perish. However, the natural output of software development tends not to be an article (people who confuse articles and documentation do a poor job of both, IMHO)."
