Remember, it's not just the number of publications that's important. It's also how others in the field view those publications. Although not necessarily without problem the citation index (i.e. how many times other people have referenced your work) is often viewed as an indication as to the quality. I looked at some AIG 'geologists' and a few others and found the following:
I checked out 4 YEC scientists secular publications for their impact. I used the citation index as a relative measure of the importance of their work. For those who don't know, the citation index indicates how many other scientists reference your work. Referencing of work is one measure of its importance. I looked at John Baumgardner, Russ Humphreys, Jon Sarfati and Jan Peczkis. The results:
Tops: Easily John Baumgardner is one of the top of the YEC mentioned here in terms of his citation index. Interestingly, all of his well-cited articles use old earth time scales (with specific numbers!).
Russ Humphreys has a decent publication record, but relatively few citations.
Sarfati has 6 published articles and a total of 48 citations. Of those 48 citations, 35 come from a Nature article which lists him as co-author. A second paper was cited 6 times and the others 1-3 citations.
Peczkis has one paper with 12 citations, two with no citations and one with a single citation. His highly cited article is on the evolutionary development of dinosaur sizes.
Austin has 1 article that I could find with 0 citations. Wise has one article that is reasonably cited (25x), but nothing recent. Gentry has several well cited articles (>50 cites), but nothing recent of note.
Emil Silvestru who, according to AIG is a 'world expert' in karst has 10 publications in scientific journals, but none of those journals are tracked by the major scientific citation company ISI.
Dennis Englin who is listed as a Ph.D. geophysicist on AIG's website has no publications that I could find.
There are no details given on Graham Mortimer on the AIG site; however if it is Graham E. Mortimer then he has a strong publication record, but as near as I can tell he looks to be an old earth creationist based on the pubs listed under his name.
Andrew Snelling has a few pubs in minor journals. One article has been cited 12 times and the other 6 listings have between 0-3 citations.
Joachim Scheven has but a single publication from 1981 so far as I could tell and does not come up on a search in the ISI database.
