Sure. Publishing means having your name listed among the authors. This does not necessarily translate in the production of results, or in the active participation in the writing process.

An interesting statistic would be the number of scientists who are able to publish a paper every five days or so, while going solo in their work. Essentially nobody, I suppose, for so many reasons I will not list here.
