The drive for more and more publications is another example of the management class fucking up higher ed.
Measurable outcomes: you MUST publish a certain number of articles every year. Just keep churning them out.
It's rationalization: productivity is making more, and productivity is good.

Historical research does not need to be done faster or in greater volume for any social or intellectual purpose whatever; if anything, it needs to be done more slowly and deliberately than at present, by people allowed the training, time, space, and resources to do it that way.

"This will transform historical research!" Cool but it's already being transformed out of existence by the same forces pushing these transformative technologies.
Forgive us if we're skeptical of a moment that's telling us "This will help you do your work--which we despise--faster and better."
