title: "Publish or perish" is alive and well: a re-analysis of Landrum and Clump (2004).
abstract: A re-analysis was undertaken of Landrum and Clump's data reporting the results of a survey of search committee chairs' criteria for evaluating applicants for psychology faculty positions. Results indicated that 5 factors emerged from their agreement items (measuring agreement with specific statements about submitted applications) and 4 factors emerged from their importance items (measuring prioritization of specific application characteristics). Several of these factors, especially one focusing upon teaching and research emphasis, are useful to different degrees. These results suggest that public institutions with graduate programs differ from other institutions on criteria for applicants in several ways, particularly in their emphasis on research over teaching. Results may help applicants to better focus their efforts in the application process.
