Thanks, I didn't know about that. But you'll probably agree that it's unimpressive: 270 publications (and that appears to be all-time, going back 10 years) for a team of 515 researchers. In academia, you'd expect several per year per researcher.

That's because at university the researchers are being evaluated mainly on the number of papers they produce. Google has other options for evaluation.

Source: some bozos count my papers every couple of years and write an evaluation which displays complete ignorance of my field.
