Getting Published in Topics Related and Unrelated to Your Research Interests
P

Hi Everyone. I am a third year PhD student in a Human Development and Family Studies program, and I have a question about getting published. I am in the process of getting published on an article that is within my research area (coping/adolescents/substance abuse). I have the opportunity to get published on an article(s) that isn't within my area of interest (international education). Does anybody know if it is better to have more publications even if they aren't in your area of interest, or less publications that are all related to your interest area? My goal is to get an academic position, and I know publications are important. However, I am uncertain about this. If anybody has any ideas, let me know. Thanks.
