LOL political scientist with no publications hired by Columbia removes CV
-
That's not true for political science. Most successful job candidates do generally have publications, although the big gripe over there recently is that "diverse" candidates often don't have publications while white male candidates with publications don't get jobs. This more or less tracks what people are saying over here

"People are saying and by that I mean I pulled this from my innermost depths of my rear end"

"People are saying and by that I mean I pulled this from my innermost depths of my rear end"you sound defensive.

I'm a tenured professor. I'm just telling it like it is. At the high end of the job market (eg, Columbia), you don't get a job because you have a co-authored pub or two with your advisor. It's all about the JMP and the letters.
you sound defensive.
You are neither a tenured professor nor a sociologist. "JMP" is not a term used in sociology. And no one cares about letters!!!! "telling it like it is." LMFAO

I am a tenured professor but you're quite right that I'm not a sociologist. At the high end of the market, letters are basically everything. And by letters, I don't mean only what is written in the letter itself but the phone call one's advisor makes on behalf of the candidate. That is how things happen. This is not a bean counting exercise.

Sounds like I should have gotten my PhD in econ. Tired of the bean counting in soc/crim.

Letters may matter in your discipline, but they do not matter in sociology.

At the top end of the market, it's all about buzz/reputation. Whether fair or unfair, that is how it works. This isn't discipline-specific. What do you think it's about? I'm not even sure what the alternative claim would be.

People will have 100+ publications without contributing a single meaningful or original thing to the discipline. They are just experts at getting published.

You don't know much about economics or political science.
Candidates in economics and political science may not have official pubs but must have visible working papers and some oral presentations. In general, job market papers can be published in either the NBER or the SSRN.
On the econ, polisci job markets, most job candidates don't have publications. They have a job market paper that people think is destined for a top journal. It's only in criminology that people enter the market with a laundry list of publications.
