The negative implications of this culture, such as work-life imbalance and stifled creativity, will be discussed, followed by potential ways forward, including the development of quality metrics, interdisciplinary research, and the rise of new digital platforms that challenge traditional publishing norms.

Through this presentation, The presenter hopes to shed light on the challenges of the "Publish or Perish" culture and discuss how we can work towards a more sustainable and ethical research environment.
