He is not first named on all of them, which means he likely advised masters and PhD/post docs on their work. It’s not uncommon.

This many papers is uncommon, but how it happened is not out of the norm.

  • Right, I didn't mean to imply that the practice was uncommon, just that using it as a defense of ego so readily was eyebrow-raising. I'm no academic, but I feel like I'd lose respect for my advisor had they used the paper I worked hard on as a way to boost numbers used as personal defense in some petty squabble in a public forum.
