Thanks for the question! To echo Ozzie, I don’t think it’s fair to directly compare the quality of our work to the quality of GPI’s work given we work in overlapping but quite distinct domains with different aims and target audiences.
Additionally, we haven’t prioritized publishing in academic journals, though we have considered it for many projects. We don’t believe publishing in academic journals is necessarily the best path towards impact in the areas we’ve published in given our goals and don’t view it as our comparative advantage.
All this said, we don’t deliberately err more towards quantity over quality, but we do consider the time tradeoff of further research on a given topic during the planning and execution phases of a project (though I don’t think this is in any way unique to us within EA). We do try to publish more frequently because of our desire for (relatively) shorter feedback loops. I’d also say we think our work is high quality but I’ll let the work speak for itself.
Finally, I take no position on whether EA organizations in general ought to err more or less towards academic publications as I think it depends on a huge number of factors specific to the aims and staffs of each organization.
