During last two decades immense pressure has been created for academic staff in universities to publish
often and in volume, resulting in a debilitating culture of speed in academia. This paper critically examines
how academics from developing countries like Pakistan, who are relatively disadvantage in global market
for knowledge, navigate this publish or perish regime. Against this backdrop we have designed detailed
qualitative case study of Pakistan to appraise the consequences and implications of this system for
academic life. The data was gathered through in-depth interviews and informal discussions with university
teachers, and was interpreted using the conceptual lens of Bronfenbrenner Ecological System Theory. The
findings of this study highlights that the increasing pressure to publish along with multiple academic,
institutional, and professional constraints faced by faculty members during the process of publication
negatively affect their overall sense of wellbeing and quality of work.
