A poll for psychologists (and be honest): Have you "salami-sliced" a paper with the primary goal of increasing your number of publications? That is, you had some set of studies that would make a good and coherent paper but instead published them separately to increase pub count.

Do you feel any pressure to do this? I've genuinely never been tempted, so interested in motivation to do this.

I don't... and, in fact, I usually do precisely the opposite: Try to put too much into a single paper. Seems to me that you're lucky if you can get someone's eyes on your paper. Why take half of it and put it elsewhere?

Indeed. So what's the motivation for the question then? Do you think there are pressures or incentives to do this?

I have no idea what you think, haven't clicked through yet, sorry. But I have seen people who salami slice (obv I could link to their Scholar profiles to show you, but it would be terribly rude).

It seems they do it not because of a general pressure on salami slicing per se, but (I feel bad for saying this) because they don't know better.

They think it is good science, but actually it's the same experiment again and again fro no reason.
