> MIT should instruct its deans and other officials to no longer look favorably upon the mere fact of publication in a “prestigious” journal when making hiring and tenure decisions. Instead, promotions should be based on the quality of a person’s work, wherever it’s been published. (This sounds obvious, but most people in academia will tell you that where you publish is just as important as what you publish.)
This is an author that is confusing "most people in academia" with MIT.
Mere publication is not the path to tenure at MIT, and the tenure committees are well-versed in the difference between impact and the # of pubs.
