Increasingly hearing about PhD students graduating with 10+ publications. Very happy for them but publication inflation is spiraling out of control. No way a 'trainee' should be publishing at this volume and speed. Recipe for disaster - we need to slow down in science!

I am a proponent of not allowing people graduate who can't be considered capable. It devalues the PhD. I tip my hat to your hard work. I just don't think the system should let such gaps happen!

Agreed too. For this to become the reality (at least in UK) would require substantial reshaping of graduate programmes. Once PhD students pass their 1st year, it is expected that the supervisor will do more-or-less whatever it takes for them to (a) submit something, & (b) pass.

Inevitably this means that some students pass with significant gaps in their training.
