  • also known as the 'least publishable unit';

    a quantum of material submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication. Manuscripts barely containing enough new information to qualify as 'original research' are said to consist of a single publicon, in contrast to far-reaching works with many new and interesting results, which contain many.
