Summary/Abstract: This paper offers observations on some of the recently established practices in academic publishing in the field of humanities that directly relate to the introduction of minimum national requirements for the scholarly activity of aspirants for academic promotion. The enactment of the science metrics has mobilized the scientific community to strive for multiple academic publications and an increase in their citation rate. A troubling question as to whether the quantification of science diminishes its quality arises. On the other hand, the new requirements provoke the emergence of a number of pragmatic publishing strategies, some of which are at contradiction with academic ethics.
