If you're working 6-8 hours a day during the summer efficiently, how many retrospective chart publications do you guys think is reasonable to pump out in a 10 week summer?
 
10 weeks goes by fast. Your answer totally depends on the complexity of your research question, your sample size, the ease of extracting information from the chart, the rigor of your validation procedures, etc. It's probably realistic to expect one solid publication, maybe two middling ones depending on the context.
 
Maybe 1 if you're lucky. You're taking the amount of work involved for granted.
