Some scholars are highly productive. They break new ground and do it again and again. Their names and ideas are ubiquitous in scientific journals and scholarly books. They scoff at ''publish or perish.'' To them, it''s ''publish and flourish.'' But how are they so productive, publishing hundreds of powerful works over their careers?
