Drawing on the literature of identity, Gendron (2008) introduced the notion of “academic performer.” The academic performer is a “representation of identity which is increasingly typical of what it means today to be an actor in academia, in terms of attitudes and behaviour” (Gendron, 2008, p. 97). The gist of this particular academic performer treatise is that the growing influence of rankings and journal performance metrics is a disincentive for professors to focus on anything other than publishing in highly ranked journals. Sutherland (2017) corroborated this perspective when noting that individual aspirations receive little (if any) space in appraisal and promotion systems, although they are important in personal measures of success.

屡获殊荣的学术表演者

Gendron（2008）利用身份的文献介绍了“学术表演者”的概念。学术表演者是“身份的代表，就态度和行为而言，它越来越成为当今学术界演员的典型代表”（Gendron，2008年，第97页）。这项特殊的学术表现论文的要旨是，排名和期刊绩效指标的影响力不断增长，这不利于教授将注意力集中在发表于排名较高的期刊上以外的任何事情上。Sutherland（2017）指出了个人抱负在评估和晋升系统中的空间很小（如果有的话），这证实了这一观点，尽管这些抱负对个人成功的衡量很重要。
