Published 30 articles per year?

Someone told me that it is quite possible to publish more than 5 articles per year.   Well, there is nothing wrong with that.  But to publish 30 articles per year?  It means that on average, this person can produce on average 2 articles.  Wow, this person must be super excellent.  Yeah right.  But look what has happened to him now?  For more details, go to HERE.  

Just imagine, what would happen to those students who are or were supervised by him?  Would they be affected by this?  If they are affected by this, won’t it be unfair for them to be dragged into this mess? It is all started with a person aiming to be recognized as a prolific academician.  There is nothing wrong having such aim but the end cannot justify the means.   Well, the way I see it, such trend is happening now somewhere too and at the moment, nobody cares the adverse effect in the near future.  Well, just wait and see.  Let’s see how it goes.
