AB This study investigates the publication rates of successful
   doctoral students in the fields of analytical chemistry,
   experimental psychology, and American literature. Publication
   rates were calculated for a sample of those receiving
   doctorates every fifth year between 1965 and 1995. An analysis
   of the data revealed that there were differences in publication
   rates of the doctoral students that mirrored differences
   between the fields as a whole. The data also show that the
   decline in solo authorship observed in many fields is present
   in this population as well. Participation rates (percent that
   had at least one publication) for chemistry and literature
   showed initial increases followed by plateaus since the early
   1980s, while the participation rate in psychology has remained
   between 40 and 60 percent over the course of the study.
