Planning for Academic Publishing After Retirement: Some Results and Observations

Abstract

In 2018, before I retired, I speculated on how I might continue to publish as a former academic, identifying five key behaviours for me to pursue. Now, four years after I retired, I confirm that these activities have been successful. I have no affiliation with any institution, museum or university, and am thriving in my independence. My production is maintained, even flourishing. Some papers have been published under a new iteration of my name, S. Kenneth Donovan, which I trust confuses unwanted software. I publish more in the journals that I read and less in those that, formerly, were favoured by management. I am now a more efficient reviewer of research papers, identifying them as a priority rather than a nuisance.
