Book might be less work considering the time and effort you put into multiple review processes for each journal articleMy guess would be that most books would only convert to 1 or 2 top 5 articles. Lots of filler. Doesn't mean that the sum of the parts isn't valuable however.

I’d say it’s minimum 3 maybe more

Almost all leading cp people at top r1s have books. They wouldn’t write them if they had no value.
Maybe at community colleges, bozo.
Depends on the field. In CP, books are not serious, only refereed journals count.
This is nonsense. CP is more of a book subfield than AP or IR. -
No way is 1 OUP/CUP = 3 top 5 journal articles. A lot of these books are derived from 1 article (and not always from a top journal) and then you add stuff. So 1 OUT/CUP is more like 1 top 5 journal article + 2 other articles.

Ok, let’s settle for cup=1 top 3 art + 3 other articles. That’s how much I’m willing to compromise

Buy high, sell low my friends.
Twenty years ago, I traded my CUP for three APSRs, a PRQ and a PB. Last year, I traded two of those APSRs for a CUP, a PUP and an APR. You heard that right. I turned one CUP into a CUP, a PUP, an APSR, a PRQ, a PB, and an APR.

There are a lot of folks who have no idea what they're talking about blathering away here. I'm sorry, friends, if you don't like books for whatever reason, but in several subfields of political science 1 book in a top press will get you quite a bit of what you need for tenure. Also, good luck if you think PSR is the forum where you're going to change people's opinions about it.

Depends almost entirely on the dept. some won’t tenure you w/o a book. others won’t care.
This is the correct-est answer.
Pro-tip: don't go looking for guidance about this on PSR - ASK YOUR TENURED COLLEAGUES. Who cares what other people do in other departments, you're only going through tenure in YOUR department.
